SUMMARY:Pieces of Self: A Collage Workshop with Trisha Mah
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 26\, 2026\n6:30-8:30 pm\nFREE\n \nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore identity\, connection\, and sharing who you are. We’ll make cards that hold the parts of yourself you want to share with others—maybe a memory that matters to you\, something you’re proud of\, a blessing you want to give\, or just a quiet truth that feels important.  \n  \nWe’ll work with collage–choosing pieces of paper\, images\, and colors\, to make something whole—like how we’re all made up of different parts\, and we get to choose what we share when we connect with the people we care about.  \n  \nThis is about being present\, not making something perfect. No prior experience required—just bring your curiosity and an open mind. All materials will be provided: papers\, images\, supplies\, and some gentle prompts to help you think about what you want to create and share.  \n  \nWe’ll explore:  \n– What feels meaningful to you right now?  \n– Who you want to connect with and why?  \n– How to let your cards tell your story?  \n  \nWhat You’ll Leave With: A handmade collage that feel like you—ready to give to someone as a small appreciation\, or to keep as reminder of the wonderful human you are.  \n  \nCome as you are. Leave with something to share. This event is free to attend with registration at the link below\, but space is limited. \n					\n									Register for Free Tickets\n					 \nABOUT THE ARTIST \n																														 \nTrisha Mah (she/they) is a Chinese-Japanese American collagist and taiko artist from the Bay Area whose work explores cultural identity\, intergenerational memory\, and liberation.
