Bring your imagination to life in Creature Companions: Sculpt a Story Sidekick! Using air-dry clay, participants will design and sculpt an original creature inspired by the worlds of their favorite books. Is it a loyal forest guardian, a mischievous magical pet, or a brave adventure companion? Once sculpted, tweens will give their creature a name, special abilities, and a short backstory connecting it to a book or story world. This creative, hands-on program blends art and storytelling while encouraging imagination, literacy, and fun. For ages 10-18
