At-Home Art Kits
At-Home Art Kits
In 2020, in-person workshops such as ‘Go Green Up-Cycling’ were cancelled due to the pandemic. To respond to the needs of our community, Hope Bridges Society started the Monthly At-Home Art Kits initiative, inspired by artist/maker Johanna Jackins. 27 different At-Home Art Kits were available monthly as take-home mini art experiences. Each kit was created with simple directions and packed with supplies needed to complete the project. A limited number of Art Kits are still available to purchase.
Now that in-person classes have resumed, Hope Bridges Society has partnered with the Wheatland Lodge to bring you monthly in-person ‘Go Green Upcycling’ craft classes. Participants and Wheatland Lodge residents can express themselves and develop new skills while making upcycled crafts. Class is a welcoming and supportive environment that fosters creativity and inspires participants to continue their artistic pursuits.
