The Allentown Art Museum is partnering with the Allentown Public Library to offer a free two-part papermaking and visual journal workshop series designed specifically for seniors. Led by teaching artist and art therapist Donna Fedak, this creative experience provides a welcoming space for seniors to explore hands-on artmaking while connecting with others in the community.
On Thursday, May 28, from 2 until 4 p.m., the first session will be held at the Museum. Participants will be guided in creating their own handmade paper.
Then on Tuesday, June 2, from 2 until 4 p.m., a second session will be hosted at the Library, when handmade paper will be transformed into a personal mixed-media visual journal. Paper will be available for those unable to attend the first session.
Sign up for one or both of the workshop sessions HERE. Space is limited, and advance registration is encouraged. Accommodations can be made for participants with accessibility or mobility needs.
Other partners making this free program possible are Age-Friendly Lehigh Valley and the United Way.
