Visitors of all ages are invited to participate in this hands-on informal workshop with SBMA Teaching Artists. Each month explore a different medium—clay, metal, ink, wood, photography, paper—inspired by works of art in the Museum’s collection or special exhibitions.

In December, print a winter scene in black ink on gold paper inspired by Winter Landscape (18th –19th century) and Crows in Early Winter, two Japanese screens in the Museum’s collection of East Asian Art.

*Special time due to the Museum closing early for the Member’s holiday event.
