Kids Crafting with Kelle
Join visual artist and crafter Kelle with a colorful art project for kids! This month’s project: Clothespin people!
Create mini wooden people using vintage clothespins, yarn, and paper. Design a mini you, make a magical mermaid, or dream up a doll of your own!
In order to maintain safe spaces, participation in kids activities will be limited to children and their accompanying parents, guardians, and caregivers.
This is a free event with free 2-hour parking validation available upon request.
This programming was created in part through the City of Los Angeles Arts Development Fee Program, Department of Cultural Affairs.
