Inspired by Rosie Lee Tompkins’s favorite patterns, create a one-of-a-kind collage that explores and expands upon the familiar stars and stripes of the American flag. Incorporate something with special meaning for you, such as favorite prints, patterns, words, or photographs, along with repurposed papers and other recyclable materials found at home. Workshop led by artist Catherine Sherman.
