How do the museum preserve Chinese paintings that have creases and tears? In this hands-on workshop, children ages 6–11 will practice repairing artwork using reinforcement strips, a traditional mending technique. Get inspired by touring the Chinese art galleries, make art, and apply reinforcement strips so the artwork can safely make the journey home.

Workshops are at 11am and 1:30pm. Register online.
