Artist Ruth Ju-shih Li 李如詩 will be hosting a clay workshop as part of the Florilegium: Distant Memories exhibition public program. The workshop will explore flower-making techniques, where participants can experiment with the artist’s press moulds and learn to hand-form and assemble their own floral forms.
Participants can take home their own creations at the end of the workshop.
