Life Story Workshop w/ Jade

Over 18s only

Life Story is a seated creative session in which guests will explore the anatomy of an adoption “Life Story Book”. A Life Story Book is a chronological account created by social workers to document the life of an adopted child. The intention behind these books is to help adopted children understand their history, identity, and life journey.

This workshop invites participants to construct their own miniature book using a combination of painting, paper collage and short written prompts to build a handcrafted visual archive.
