UNH art instructor and artist Sachiko Akiyama leads a three-hour, in-person workshop on mask making at the River Gallery School in Brattleboro. At the start of the workshop, Patti Smith of Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center (BEEC) will present an introduction about local animals that are at risk of becoming endangered or are threatened in some way. Akiyama will then lead a mask making workshop referencing Japanese folklore and endangered animals as inspiration.

This workshop is presented in connection with Sachiko Akiyama: Through Lines.
