SUMMARY:Adult Workshop: Curiosity Boxes
DESCRIPTION:Please preregister here!  \nWorkshop Description:\nFor centuries\, Cabinets of Curiosity have offered glimpses of collected items from near and far including minerals\, fossils\, dried specimens\, preserved insects\, antiquities\, and more.

In this workshop\, you’ll create your own “curiosity box\,” starting with a premium vintage cigar box decorated with decoupage\, paint\, or decorative accents. Then select a mix of treasures from our curated offerings including mini-fossils\, dried plants\, shells\, funny mushrooms\, rough and tumbled gemstones and more! Finally\, take the box home and add your own mementos over time. \nAudience Target:\nAdults and teens ages 10+ interested in natural history and a unique art experience. \nFormat:\nA guided\, hands-on workshop focused on decorating and filling a personalized curiosity box.
