BrickCity Urban Skulls
About the Workshop
In this workshop, we will make skulls that are more cultural to growing up in an urban setting where 3-5 apartment buildings and projects made of bricks is the atmosphere of learning how to navigate and grow in a community that is moving in a fast pace.
*This will be a community workshop open to all. Non-Duke users, please email anna.wallace@duke.edu to reserve a place in the class. Walk-ins are also welcome.
