Creative Haverhill is offered a series of free Tuesday art classes for teenagers intended to inspire creativity around activism.
“Craftivism” combines hands-on crafts with activism. Students will learn cross-stitching and embroidery techniques while developing artwork around issues they are passionate about. Local fiber artist Joanna Corea will teach the classes beginning Tuesday, April 28, from 4-6 p.m., at Creative Haverhill’s storefront art gallery, 43 Washington St., Haverhill. Classes run for five Tuesdays through Tuesday, May 26.
Classes are limited to 14 students. Those interested in participating may register at CreativeHaverhill.org. The workshop is paid in part by a city of Haverhill Youth and Mental Health grant.
