Feeding Your Inner Zoo 

Family Art Workshops 

at 
Bainbridge Island Museum of Art

Working with recycled materials and pencils, pens, ink, paints, papers, old book pages, string, rick-rack, glitter, glue, tape, each person brought their own key ingredient: IMAGINATION. 

Workshop participants invented and collaged fantastic flying contraptions, which launched far-out stories to go with their art creations. 

With no shortage of inventiveness in this think-tank-topia, the time flew by and so did the pictures!
