Picking Up the Pieces: Expressing Your Grief Through Art

  • Thursday, August 8, 2024

  • 5140 Golf Rd
    Skokie, IL 60077

Join us for an in-person workshop with Kristen McCray, Art Therapist with Midwest Refuah, to explore your grief process by creating ceramic artwork. This workshop will explore how creating art can be a tool in our grief. Art involvement can be cathartic; help you feel less isolated and communicate for you when it’s hard to know what to say.

Materials will be provided, and artwork may be taken home that evening.
