      In-person event
      Location: Create Space Studios

      Included with admission

      A netsuke is a small figurine carved from stone, wood or bone. Often depicting animals and characters from folklore, these small ornaments were used to tie personal belongings onto clothing in 17th-century Japan. Join us to examine the tiniest sculptures in PEM’s collection, then make a collage inspired by netsuke!

      Regular Drop-in Art Making is held in person Friday–Monday in our Create Space studios. Friday art making is recommended for ages 10 and up, while Saturday–Monday activities are suitable for ages 4 and up. Activities are created and led by PEM’s Education team.
