Join us as we explore the world of felt and fairies with the art of Salley Mavor, animals from around the world with the art of Jan Brett, and the adventures of Hitty with the art of Dorothy Lathrop. We will create both two-dimensional and three-dimensional artwork inspired by these three illustrators.  Please contact Janine Moon with questions: moonj@albanyinstitute.org
