Inspired by the work of artists featured in Dust My Broom: Southern Vernacular, visitors to the California African American Museum can bring fantastic beings to life.

Some of the artists in the exhibition created figures from their memories and imaginations. Robert Howell’s Critter started life as a nondescript log, until the artist turned it into a spotted creature of fantasy. John Outterbridge’s First Poet, Olivia—a tribute to his mother—imagines her ironing board as the family’s pet goat.

Workshop participants use materials from twigs and fabric to old containers to create their fantastical beings.

 RSVP online.
