Join us for a special Teen Art Open Studio with artist Julia Goodman. For Jewish Folktales Retold: Artist as Maggid, Goodman created a hanging installation that includes 18 suspended layers of handmade paper made from repurposed rags, old t-shirts, and bed sheets. Inspired by the final scene from the tale "The Bird of Happiness," which reveals a wise young king’s daily ritual of spending an hour inside of a shack, dressed in rags looking into a mirror reflecting his past guiding him to move his country into the future. Goodman creates a parallel space for viewers to reflect on time, humility, and leadership. In this Open Studio, you will learn about the history of rag paper and an introduction and experimentation with pulp painting and inclusions.

Free for teens. All supplies, snacks, and drinks provided. No registration required.
