Papier-Maché Weekend Workshop

RIDGEFIELD — Children ages 4 to 6 are invited to join Aldrich Museum educator Melanie Zalman in a hands-on exploration of papier-maché sculpture on Saturday and Sunday, February 24 and 25.

Participants in the two-part workshop will explore the endless sculptural possibilities that papier-maché has to offer. They will design, assemble and papier-maché the shape, object or animal of their choice.
