Workshopping  Workshops 

We continued to explore the topic of workshops through conversation and drawing.

Q: "What is a workshop?"
Lane: "A workshop is where you work."
Sally: "A workshop is where you do work and shopping. Work and shop, work and shop."

Q: What kind of workshop would you like to do?
Maren: "Any workshop like my sister did" (last year).
Jack:" I like to build. I like to build with anything."
Lane: "A making workshop where you make stuff."
Sally: "A color workshop..."
Grace D.: "We might mix colors."
Austin: "Sports."
Grace D.: "Sewing workshop where you sew clothes, shorts, pants..."
Lane: "And headbands?" 
Evelyn: "I haven't done building before."
Austin: "Yeah, building!"
