Workshop at Grosse Pointe Library

The Grosse Pointe Central Library (built by Marcel Breuer) recently renovated their fabulous Herbert Matter mural titled "History of writing". Together with my friend Jackie Rybinski I tought an art workshop for youth inspired by the mural.
The results were impressive and the newly created mural titled "Beyond the Wall" will be displayed at the Grosse Pointe Art Center from October 3 - 22, 2014
