The Weisman Art Museum invites you to a hands-on workshop led by teaching artist Erica Warren. Incorporating themes from Journey to the Cosmic Womb by JooYoung Choi, this workshop provides participants the opportunity to engage in hands-on art-making, in-gallery, learning, and a short live performance by puppet artist and storyteller featuring her own crankie-box story. 

In this workshop, Erica Warren will teach you how to create your very own crankie puppet box. What is a crankie? A crankie is one long scrolled paper between two dowels—your cranks—inside a box-like frame. It is a useful form of visual expression and one that can be used over and over again. Materials are provided. Just bring yourself and an idea! 

Support for this program is provided by Art Bridges. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through an Operating Support grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional general operating support is generously provided by Ameriprise Financial.
