FSS #3: Hands-On Houston Family Festival @ HCCC

Happy Thursday, Artists (and Families)! AND, before I continue, GO ASTROS! What an amazing win for our city and our athletes!

Carry on with your revelry and celebrate creativity at Hands-On Houston Family Festival this Saturday, November 4th from 11am to 3pm at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft! Art 1 students have the opportunity to get extra-credit with proof of participation (a selfie does just fine!).

A little about the event from the HCCC website:

Please join us for our seventh annual HANDS-ON HOUSTON FAMILY FESTIVAL, a free community event. Families and visitors of all ages are invited to this fun day of indoor/outdoor activities. This year, HCCC celebrates fiber with hands-on activities, demonstrations by local artists, and more!

  • Learn a variety of techniques for working with fiber

  • Create wet-felted bracelets and sew your own wall hanging

  • Join Workshop Houston’s Style Shop, a nonprofit youth program, for printing on textiles

  • See live demonstrations, including natural dying with current resident artists Liz Robb and Molly Koehn, The Creeping Vine Project by former resident Rebecca Braziel, and the Houston Area Machine Knitters

  • View the fall exhibitions in our galleries: Storyline: The Contemporary Quilt, For Hire: Contemporary Sign Painting in America, and The Sound of Things

  • Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts and home décor in the Asher Gallery

  • Enjoy food and refreshments on site from local food truck, Food Music Life

Parking: The HCCC parking lot will be blocked off for activities and food trucks, but street parking is available nearby.

Hope to see you there!
