Join us for our annual day of discovery and creative expression featuring hands-on workshops, demonstrations, installations, and conversations with PHA Print, Ceramics, and Public Arts shops plus MGC Community Print Studio, Workspace11, and The Alpha Workshops, as well as partner organizations, artists, and educators.
