Family Program | Block Printing Placemats

Take part in hands-on activities inspired by Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial. Families are invited to sketch, print, and build together. Inspired by the abundant textile patterns in Nicole Crowder and Hadiya Williams’s dining room installation The Offering, design your own placemat! Create stamps using foam and cardboard and print with fabric paint on linen! Take your placemat home to use at your table.

Family drop-in activities are designed for youth ages 5–12 and their adult guardian/caregivers. Family programs are included in the price of museum admission, and youth 18 and under are always free.
