Design a bodhi tree — a symbol of Buddha’s enlightenment — by “drawing” on gray air-dry clay.
Visitors of all ages are welcome to participate in this hands-on workshop with SBMA Teaching Artists on the Museum’s front steps. Each month explore a different medium, including clay, metal, ink, wood, photography, and paper, and gain inspiration from works of art in the Museum's permanent collection or special exhibitions.
