Ties That Bind is an interactive, age-appropriate creative program that invites children to explore family traditions, personal memories, and imaginative story- telling through textiles and simple materials. Guided conversation and hands-on art-making help participants reflect on what connects us to one another and to our histories. This program is inclusive, and focused on joy, creativity, and respectful sharing. No sewing skills are required, and all activities use are safe, kid- friendly materials.
