About the Event

Join artist-in-residence Lenka Clayton and The Fabric Workshop and Museum in a special workshop designed for Philadelphia artists who are also parents. During the two-hour workshop, Clayton will introduce participants to the Artist Residency in Motherhood (ARiM), an internationally recognized program that helps parents develop a framework to connect the usually separated roles of parenting and art making.

This program is led by Lenka Clayton, and all materials will be provided by The Fabric Workshop and Museum. Group size is limited. Pre-registration is required, and fees are nonrefundable unless the Museum cancels the class.

Child supervision is on a need base only. Space is limited to ten spots for children 4–12 years old. If you require child supervision to attend this event, contact Shelby Donnelly, Museum Education Coordinator, at shelby@fabricworkshopandmuseum.org.
