Each participant will leave the workshop with their own unique Wish Board.

2:00 pm – 4:00 pm – Miami Beach Pride is delighted to partner for the first time with The Miami Children’s Museum to offer two drop-in workshops that will run simultaneously.

•  Thumbprint Portraits - inspired by the unique thumbprint artwork of Cheryl Sorg. The shapes and patterns found in a thumbprint are unique to each individual and do not change over time.   Children and families under 10-years of age will be introduced to a variety of textures, including  yarn, paper, markers, and text to create their own unique thumbprint to represent their  emotions, identity, and inner SELF!

• Friendship Bracelets - utilizing elastic strings and a variety of beads, children/teens will be  encouraged to design and create their own Friendship Bracelet using unique patterns and/or words of affirmation to express who they are. When it’s complete, you can wear your Friendship Bracelet as a reminder to be proud of who you are or give it to a friend to help empower them. For  children/teens and their families aged 10+ years
