Creating Memory Houses *

Craft & Story-Sharing Workshop

Make and decorate paper houses that hold personal memories.

Explore memory and storytelling through a paper craft activity with workshop leader Sabine Schmidt. Learn how to make miniature paper houses, then fill and decorate your houses with items that hold meaning for you, a friend, or a loved one. Share stories about people, places, and events that those objects evoke. Templates, paper, card stock, and other materials will be provided. Please bring items you would like to include in your houses.
