Create art together at Family Sunday.
We want to continue to share art-making activities for the families in our community while under stay-at-home orders. To do this, we are mailing free craft kits directly to participants so they can enjoy a family-friendly art activity at home.

Block printing is used to stamp the lengths of cotton fabric using hand-carved woodblocks and paint.
May Family Sunday From Home: Clay Animals
