Discover the art of miniatures in this fun polymer keychain workshop!

Inspired by favorite summer fruits, traditional snacks, and refreshing drinks, each keychain becomes a small celebration of cultural memory and imagination. This hands-on workshop is for all ages and experience levels. All materials will be provided. Walk-ins welcome.

ABOUT THE TEACHING ARTIST:

The Self Help Graphics Youth Committee is made up of a collective of youth ages 15-20 living in East Los Angeles. They  support SHG’s youth-led programs and events, uplifting issues important to young people in the community. Members have access to enriching opportunities, such as gaining art-making skills with visiting artists. Through these experiences, they develop leadership skills and learn how the arts play a role in storytelling, advocacy, civic engagement, and more, connecting and collaborating with like-minded peers. This is a paid 9 month opportunity, from September to early June.
