Solstice Adornment Workshop
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Art From Scrap is teaming up with the Summer Solstice Celebration for a fun and free two hour workshop. From 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, the Art From Scrap Parking Lot will transform into an outdoor community workshop space filled with creative reuse materials. This event is made possible by the support of the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts and Culture.
Join Solstice Artist-in-Residence Diane Arnold, Face-Painter Joan Melendez, Summer Solstice Celebration board member Mary Price and Art From Scrap staff member Rachel Palmer for a creative hat, headdress, and mask making workshop at Art From Scrap. Extra tables will be set up for community members who want to bring their own Solstice projects to work on and who want close access to Art From Scrap materials while they create.
Join us to on Saturday, June 15th. Practice the art of reuse, create your own unique Solstice attire, and get ready for the parade at Art From Scrap!

Stephanie began her journey as an educator over twenty years ago working as a preschool teacher in Washington state for a cooperative preschool program affiliated with Whatcom Community College. She loved observing the wonder and curiosity of the children and bringing them out into nature to explore the natural world. She continued her love for learning and got her teaching license and then her Montessori certification and worked as an elementary teacher in Tribal, Public, and Montessori schools. She collaborated to create a school garden and her students loved it so much that it became a special place where they could garden, read, explore, play, and it provided a safe sanctuary for students to calm down and reset when they were having difficult moments.
