Creative Aging: Mailing Memories

Postcards have been an integral tool in facilitating human connectedness and correspondence. They help us to recall memories from the past, and to share new ones with people that we care for.

Join us at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts Tuesday, May 5 and Thursday, May 7 for this incredible two-day workshop facilitated by artist/educator Matthew Brasher. You will practice various watercolor techniques as we discuss symbolism and memory, culminating in the creation of a unique and personal postcard. This workshop is for all skill levels.

All materials provided. This workshop is free for anyone 55+, registration is required. We know things come up, but please plan carefully so we can keep this programming free! Please do not reserve a ticket if you cannot attend.

For more information or questions please contact Laura Sharp Wilson, manager of studio programs, at laura.wilson@umfa.utah.edu | 801.585.6176.
