Artsy Mamas "Green Gifts workshop"

What is Artsy Mamas?
Artsy Mamas is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization, a blog/website, a network, the facilitator of programming that educates and empowers mothers and their children in the arts, and a movement that encourages mothers to get their art on while developing meaningful relationships with their children, other mothers and their community. As our mission statement says, Artsy Mamas provides moms with encouragement, education, and empowerment through the arts, improving their self-esteem and quality of life and positively affecting their children and everyone around them. When you empower a mother, you benefit her child.

How much does it cost? Free (donations welcomed to help support this future events of the Artsy Mamas)
What will I learn? You will learn how to create recycled arts and crafts that make great gifts for friends and family! Create a "shemic" piece of art, free standing tree and ornament all out of recycled materials. Also see examples and learn tips on other recycled creations that you can make by recycling everyday household items.
What is a shemic you ask? A shemic is a comic style, mixed media piece of art based on the thoughts, philosophies and attitudes of women.
