Light-Up Holiday Card Making (Teen Workshop) w/ C.J. Murphy

Break away from the ordinary and explore the connections between art and technology in a hands-on workshop led by professional artist C.J. Murphy. With mixed media art techniques and some nifty tech engineering using LED light elements, participants will create bold and glowing designs that flip the script on tradition. Each participant will leave with a collection of unique, handcrafted cards to share with friends and family—works of art that reflect creativity, individuality, and innovation.

Designed for ages 13-18. No prior experience needed.
