A family-friendly workshop inspired by the work of Lava Thomas and the exhibition Repossessions.
About this Event

Inspired by Lava Thomas's painting, The Slaughter List Illuminated, this family workshop explores handwriting as a meaningful form of memory, identity, and personal expression. Each participant will begin by practicing the alphabet in a cursive style script, and move on to write names of their family members and finish up with their own names.

Each participant will use personal style and rhythm to discover how handwriting can transform simple name into an expressive work of art. The finished piece will celebrate the beauty of handwriting and emphasize the importance of preserving personal history
