Join us for family-friendly virtual art workshops to create three-dimensional dragonflies! We hope you’ll make a dragonfly to contribute to the community art piece at Blakely Hall, as well as one for yourself! Workshops are free thanks to Swedish Issaquah and the Issaquah Arts Commission.
Workshop 1: Make a Dragonfly Using Recycled Materials
On January 16, make beautiful dragonflies out of recycled materials with Issaquah Highlands resident and eco-artist, Aline Bloch! Gather your supplies in advance (download supply list), then join the Zoom call to make a dragonfly step-by-step. All ages are welcome, although children will need assistance.
Drop your dragonfly in the bin outside Blakely Hall by January 31 to be a part of this inspiring community art project!

On January 23, Issaquah Highlands resident and art teacher Angela Bizzari of Epic Art will guide you step-by-step to make a beautiful wire dragonfly inspired by the work of American sculptor, Alexander Calder.
