Commemorate with Collage: Honour a Lost Loved One

Sunday, Oct. 20 | 2pm-4pm PDT | Register by Oct. 19th 

Create a collage to honour a lost loved one. Collage is a cathartic and beautiful way to commemorate our loved ones. Bring along a photo to work with (photocopies of photos work well, too).

Collage materials and surfaces to collage on will be provided, but feel free to bring along special items, papers, or images that you'd like to include on your collage.

This workshop is offered in partnership with Polka Dot Dragon Arts Society as part of the Second Annual Remember the Dead community event. Remember the Dead will be held at the Nelson Memorial Cemetery on Sunday, November 3 from 4-6pm.
