Sunday, August 16 | 2:00–3:30 PM

Join Detroit artist and educator Trice Clark for Memory Matter, a hands-on polymer clay drop in workshop exploring how everyday objects can hold extraordinary stories. Participants are invited to bring a small trinket, heirloom, or meaningful object to press into clay, creating a textured keepsake inspired by personal and family history. Through imprinting, carving, inscription, and surface design, we’ll transform intangible memories into tangible artifacts that can be carried forward and shared for generations.

Free. No prior experience is necessary. All materials are provided.
