Join artist Ari Salka and writer Rebecca Schultz for an intimate, hands-on workshop exploring the story of Passover through watercolor and creative writing. Inspired by themes of transformation, ritual, and liberation, participants will experiment with visual and written expression to reimagine ancient stories in personal, contemporary ways. 

No prior experience necessary; curiosity and creativity encouraged.
