This series invites families to slow down, make something meaningful together, and discover the artistry woven into cultures around the world.

This week, we’re beginning our adventure in Africa. Join us for a relaxing, creative session inspired by traditional African art forms. Learn about the meaning behind Adinkra symbols and stamp your own patterned headwrap. String vibrant glass beads to create a one‑of‑a‑kind bracelet. Design and decorate a unique mask to wear or display at home. Each craft offers a window into the rich symbolism, color, and storytelling found across the continent.
