Summer Reading: Decorate a Paper Fan! (O'Connell)
Decorate a handheld paper fan using the simple, meditative basics of Chigiri-e (“chee-gee-ree-eh”), a traditional Japanese art form where the name literally means "torn picture."
There will also be a mini-mural station for families to decorate collaboratively to celebrate wrapping up this year's Summer Reading program.
An assortment of colorful papers as well as markers, book-themed stickers and other decorations will be provided.
Space is limited and registration is required. There will be two identical back-to-back 60 minute sessions (from 2-3 and again from 3-4). Please sign up for only one session.
Pre-Fabrication Reviews
The Art Conservation Program at the Cambridge Arts Council is nationally known for its Pre-Fabrication Conservation Reviews, in which materials, fabrication methods, and installation plans are all considered before the art is made and placed on public view.
