Legacy Boxes offer a way to commemorate a special family member or event. Legacy Boxes are handmade, unique to each workshop attendee, and can be folded to sit on a shelf or display as a triptych.
This is a very special opportunity to work closely with Artist Angela Johnson and design an equally special legacy box. Angela Johnson will help you plan the box and execute the plan to make your box. All materials and tools to make the box are provided. However, Attendees should bring small item/s and photo/s to incorporate into the box; the dimensions inside the box are about 1” in height. Bring an open mind, flexibility, and an idea of a person, project, or memory you would like to honor in your legacy box.
Bring a notebook and a favorite writing pen or pencil. This is a 1-day workshop (6 hours), and participants should commit to attending the entire 6-hour session. Breaks will be included; bring your own snacks and water bottle.
Lunch is included.
Cost:
The cost to participate is $200 per box. To reserve your spot, use the QR code or follow this link to complete payment for the workshop. After payment, please return to this page and register through the registration button.
