Know your history through collage

Maybe you don’t know much about history. Let’s fix that — in a fun way — by making art that links you to your family history.

Previous family collage-makers

Tomorrow I’m leading the first of two Family-Focused Collage Workshops. Meet me at the Woodinville Library at 1pm, and we’ll make a palm-sized collage about one of your relatives. Can’t make it to this event? Join me next Friday at the Duvall Library instead. These workshops are part of the King County Library System’s dive into Black history and futures.

It’s said you can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been. Why not borrow a book or three from the library that illuminates history through a Black lens? That way, you can connect your history to Black history, and see where it might lead you in the future.
