Join artist Lexy Ho-Tai to create a Kooker—a wild and wacky creature from a mysterious, playful, faraway world. Thinking about the body and using the imagination, participants will collaboratively create a large-scale puppet using found and recycled materials. Feel free to bring any discarded materials (old clothes, bottles, cans, random trinkets, etc.) to repurpose into this creature. This is a play-, imagination-, and materials-based workshop.

She explores human connectivity, female empowerment, and inner child narratives to produce work that is humorous, playful, and interactive. She works primarily with found and recycled materials using traditional craft techniques.
