Sign on for a live artist-led tutorial on experimenting with craft and design processes using materials found at home. During this fun and informal workshop, artist and MAD artist educator Jocelyn Hsin-Ju Yang will demonstrate how to make paper lanterns for Lunar New Year.
MAD’s Digital Drop-ins are for participants of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. Following the demonstration, participants will have time to independently work on their project and share with “neighbors” in the virtual class.
All Digital Drop-ins are 45 minutes. Registrants will receive an email 24 hours in advance of the program with instructions for accessing the workshop on Zoom.
