This month, draw inspiration from our current exhibition, Justin Favela:  All You Can Eat, and join HCCC in making representations of your favorite foods.  Recreate yummy desserts or spicy entrees from cardboard and paint. Then, experiment with the size, shape, and color of your favorite snacks.  At this event, it’s more than OK to play with your food!

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15 – 20-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft. Learn more here.
