A monthly Thursday for adults 60+ to reflect, create, and connect

Instructor:  Shadia Nilforoush 
“Stories in Material” 
Legacy Workshops is a new creative series for adults ages 60 and older that invites participants to explore art making, connect with others, and honor the magic of a creative practice. In this introductory session, led by artist Shadia Nilforoush, participants will get to know one another, discover the vision for the series, and discuss how everyday objects can serve as powerful source material for creative expression. Together, we will explore the concept of materiality and how personal objects carry meaning beyond their physical form. 

Participants are encouraged to bring one printed photograph, a handwritten letter or a copy (if you do not want to alter the original letter), and one meaningful personal object of your choosing. These items will be used to create a mixed-media artwork that reflects unique experiences, memories, and legacy. No prior art experience is necessary. Curiosity is required.
