Digital Drop-in: Make Your Own Slippers

Tue, May 5 / 7 pm ET

Join a live artist-led tutorial on experimenting with craft and design processes using recycled materials found in the home. During this fun and informal workshop, artist, designer, and MAD Artist Fellow Mia Wright-Ross will guide participants in making their own pair of slippers.

MAD’s Digital Drop-ins are for participants of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. Following the demonstration, participants will have time to independently work on their project and share with “neighbors” in the virtual class.

Registrants will receive an email 24 hours in advance of the program with instructions for accessing the workshop on a secure Zoom link.

If you are currently a Trustee, Patron, or Luminaries member, please contact Catherine Farrell at catherine.farrell@madmuseum.org to receive instructions for joining this program.
