Join the Arts and Culture Program and our new art therapy graduate intern, Amy Bernard, for a free, fun body casting workshop this Wednesday, October 26, from 11am-3pm at Access Living.

Amy will take you through creating a cast of your hand, foot, face, or any body part (within reason!) out of plaster. You will take home a piece of yourself as artwork! This event is open to all Access Living consumers and staff.

The process will involve holding still for a maximum of 10 minutes in a gooey body-safe material as it hardens. Please dress for the chance of messiness. Prepare to dedicate at least 45 min to your project.

Consumers can email Amy at abernard@accessliving.org to RVSP and request PACE vouchers.
