Saturday, I had the privilege of leading another adult workshop in the David C. Pratt Cancer Center at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center. The participants created Tiffany candle holders and marbled bisque boxes: decorating votive glasses for candles and decoupaging paper mache boxes.
This workshop was part of Healing Through the Arts – a series of free art workshops, hosted by St. John’s Mercy Medical Center and St. John’s Mercy Children’s Hospital, designed to enhance healing for patients and their families.
