In this workshop, students will make personal ex-votos. Working with craft materials, magazine clippings, and photos, students will cut and paste to make a collaged ex-voto expressing gratitude for something they are thankful to have in their lives. The final result will be a physical collage that will be showcased in the museum’s Mullenix Gallery. 

Spend some time thinking about someone or something you are grateful to have in your life. Bring an image from home that reminds you of that person or thing; one that you don't mind cutting up.
