Grab your tools and fix a broken object like a real art conservator! Designed for kids ages 6–11 and their caregivers, this workshop invites families to repair damaged pottery using kid-friendly materials. Fix a missing section of your provided piece of pottery while discussing an essential question: Should repairs disappear, stay subtle, or be easy to spot? Then, look closely at artworks in "Engaging the Senses: Arts of the Islamic World."
