For those seeking a touch of perennial bloom in their lives, Frances Rogers has demonstrated a craft passed down through generations. Through a workshop provided by the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, Rogers has shared the art of creating Mexican paper flowers, vibrant décor known for their long-lasting beauty. In a recent social media post, Utah Division of Arts & Museums celebrated the longevity of these crafted flowers and announced the return of their popular #FolkArtWorkshop series slated for next month.
Missing their January session to 'recharge,' the museum is gearing up for their next event focused on Russian Charm Dolls on Saturday, Feb. 7. Coming to life through an artist's hands, these dolls carry their own cultural significance and charm. The announcement, complete with a call to action to tag workshop buddies, promises the release of a registration link for those eager to learn and create. "Flowers that never fade? Yes, please," stated the Utah Division of Arts & Museums in the post, highlighting the everlasting allure of the Mexican paper flowers taught in a previous session.
The #FolkArtWorkshops are part of the Chase Home Museum's ongoing educational programming, seeking to engage the community with diverse cultural crafts and art forms. Participants in these workshops dive into hands-on experiences, learning techniques that have stitched the fabric of various cultural heritages together. As celebrated by the museum, these art sessions not only foster creativity but also serve as a subtle form of art therapy, offering a space of relaxation and expression for those who partake.
