Making as Healing | Daylong Workshop

We will explore the question: How might the repair of objects and hands-on making be a mirror through which we can discover our own healing?

Repair and creative making presents us with a beautiful opportunity to reimagine a world of healing different from current spaces where humans, like objects, are often treated as disposable.

Participants will:

• Develop a repair mindset
• Access thinking routines to use with students across content areas & grade levels
• Unlock their inner creative child

Additional benefits:

• Have space and time to pause, reflect, and plan
• Be in community of like-minded Bay Area educators
• Enjoy good food and a good time!
• Repair/repurpose an object you bring to the workshop ?

Come experience how Maker-Centered Learning through object exploration, repair, and making can serve as a healing modality for the relationships we have with ourselves, each other and the systems in our world.
