Parts and Crafts Open House!

[kgradow1.livejournal.com]

 This week, Parts and Crafts is hosting a free open house event during our April Vacation Week program for kids and parents who are curious about our programs and want to learn more about what we do!    

What we're doing:   A hands-on workshop in maskmaking and sculpture design!    Part imaginative costume design, part urban exploration, we'll work with kids to transform public space according to their own guerilla vision, creating small-scale, imaginative sculptures out of paper and wood -- which we will then take and place in temporary locations around Somerville.     Hosted by Clay Ward, sculptor and guerilla artist extraordinaire, and by Parts and Crafts, this event will run for THREE DAYS during April Vacation week (next week).   

This workshop is generously supported by the Somerville Arts Council -- we hope you'll come check it out! If you're curious about how our summer programs work, it's a great chance to come by and see how they work -- and make something cool in the process!     Details below!

Whatever you tried ... it didn't work.

The Eventbrite registration link tells me "Only the event owner can modify this event." I think the correct link is: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1138299685

Is this something where you can drop in for one or more of the three days?

I had the same question, and since signing up on EventBrite asked me to pick which day I was signing up for, I concluded that it's a one-day-at-a-time event, not a series of 3 that you need to be there for all of. I may have concluded wrong, but we're going on Thursday and not the other days. ;-)
