Participants will gain a deep understanding of craft and concept using both traditional and non-traditional materials. Each guest will leave with 2-3 variations of pamphlets and saddle-stitch books that can be used for sketchbooks and journals, with resources to continue more complex structures on their own. Your ticket includes admission to the Museum following the workshop. Regin Igloria is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in the Chicagoland area.
