Family Day: Soft Sculptures

In this workshop inspired by the soft sculpture style and process of Changarrito artist April Garcia, participants will not only craft their own unique soft sculpture art pins but will also have the opportunity to share them with someone else. This act of giving adds an extra layer of meaning to our creations, embodying the spirit of community and connection that defines the Changarrito experience.

As you embark on your artistic journey, we encourage you to consider themes of love, family, and environmental consciousness. How can your soft sculpture art pin express appreciation for the planet, celebrate the bonds of family, or spread messages of love and kindness? Let these thoughts guide your creative process as you select materials and design your pin.

Throughout the workshop, engage in dialogue with your fellow participants, sharing ideas and insights about the significance of your creations. Reflect on the values of generosity and mindfulness as you craft your soft sculpture art pin, knowing that it will soon be passed on to someone else to cherish.

As you complete your pin, take a moment to write a heartfelt note to accompany it, expressing the intentions and emotions behind your creation. Whether it’s a message of gratitude, a declaration of love, or a pledge to protect the planet, let your words add depth and meaning to your gift.

Finally, when it’s time to exchange pins, embrace the joy of giving as you present your creation to another participant. Witness the smiles and gratitude exchanged between givers and receivers, knowing that your artwork has brought a moment of connection and joy to someone else’s life.

In the spirit of Changarrito, let’s create, share, and spread love and positivity through our soft sculpture art pins. Together, we can inspire meaningful connections and make a difference, one small gesture of kindness at a time.
