For MLK Day this year, we'll be building on Craft and Care, Tyler’s annual holiday service project. This time, we'll be joined by students at all of Philly's Art Schools: Moore College of Art & Design, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and University of the Arts, to make gifts for others in Philadelphia. Each school will have their own projects for their selected charities, and participants are invited to make things for ALL of them. This year Tyler be making gifts for the clients of Tree House Books, a local bookstore that provides free books to the North Central Philadelphia neighborhood, as well as sponsoring reading and writing programs for area young people. We’ll be making bookmarks, stress balls, story stones and coloring journals for their clients. Other schools will have projects for seniors, homeless people, and others and you'll be able to make any or all of them.
All supplies and materials as well as refreshments are provided; all we need is for YOU to come and spend a few minutes to hours chilling while creating great gifts for your Philadelphia neighbors.
