Utah Arts & Museums provides Folk Art Workshops each month at the Chase Home Museum.
What are these Folk Art Workshops?
A qualified, local teaching artist will lead a monthly Folk Art Workshop to create, design, or make a folk art craft. Subsidized by the Utah Division of Arts & Museums (UA&M), these workshops aim to share traditional arts and lifeways of Utah's cultural communities. This subsidized series provides Utahns with the interactive opportunity to learn about a wide array of visual folk arts through a hands-on experience.
