Join us and the Undying Yearning project team for a guided collage and gelli plate printing experience. The workshop will explore memories from high school and college experiences of graduates from the mid-20th century. Reflect on school days while learning texture building and image collage techniques, and build community by connecting with "Katie B." and "Big Four" alumni to learn about lesser-known aspects of Winston-Salem's history. Participants should bring at least ten 4 x 6 to 8 x 10-inch photographs or letters of your favorite school memories to photocopy. You can also bring yearbooks and other times to be scanned.

Participants Will:

• Explore texture-building, collage, and image-transfer techniques
• Create multiple gelli plate prints to contribute to a new artist book made by artist Sauda Mitchell to commemorate the Undying Yearning project
