Pop-Up Art: Craft-Stick Kente

Enjoy the fun of drop-in art-making activities for all ages popping up across the Museum galleries and Museum Park. This month look closely at the intricate and colorful woven patterns in the Kente cloth titled Man’s Cloth in the Asa Saa Wa (“Assemblage”) Pattern. Then create a wooden wall hanging piece by piece, either on your own or collaborating with friends or strangers!
