Our June 5th First Friday event in conjunction with the Town of Abingdon was a huge hit. This month’s First Friday was led by Michael Gerber, our new Art Lab Assistant. Michael led the crowd in creating their very own shadow puppets. Visitors had the option to use one of the many templates provided or they could choose to freehand their puppet. After they were finished creating and assembling their puppet they had the option to perform with their puppets. Michael also shared a wealth of knowledge regarding the art of puppetry and had a shadow puppet film on display while visitors worked on their creations.
First Friday visitors were also able to enjoy an array of snacks and visit open artist studios.
