Artist Workshop with Jerri Allyn

Create Your Own Empowerment Placemat!

Join artist Jerri Allyn, whose work The Waitresses is featured in Men of Steel, Women of Wonder, to explore the makings of everyday superheroes and create a comic empowerment place mat.

Let’s spin our “lasso’s of truth” to squarely face that “impossible task” – one that requires we draw on a super power to accomplish it. Do we also need to borrow Wonder Waitress’s “bracelets of victory”? A source of strength, these bulletproof shields allow her to bring forth courage and empathy in herself and the people she serves – customers, co-workers, bosses, friends and family alike. By the workshops end, we’ll be able to slip into our “Hermes sandals” (a gift from the fleet footed messenger of the Gods), and don our “mighty cape” to soar as far as we’d like to go!

No art training necessary. Participants are invited to draft their own comic, or use templates of figures in action and facial expressions that Allyn will provide.
