Get a Jump Start on the Jewish Folk Arts Festival With a
Family Day
Art Workshop at TI, Sun., Nov. 14


Jewish Folk Arts Festival

Join us at the synagogue on Sunday, Nov. 14, from 2-4 pm for a Parent/Child art workshop--a prelude to the Washington Jewish Folk Arts Festival set for the following Sunday at the JCC in Rockville.

The ArtSites workshop will get your creative juices flowing and get you ready for the Festival and all it has to offer you and your family. The only cost is for supplies. You can register for the TI program at the Folk Arts Festival website--just click on "weeklong workshop registration" on this page (which includes details on the TI workshops).
 
We hope you will join us for either/or both the TI program and the festival itself during that time. If you have any questions, please contact Bobbi Gorban at bprem@aol.com or 301-838-4336.
