Shadow Boxes

Inspired by WonderRoom (located in the Perry gallery), this is your chance to build your own mini cabinet of curiosities! It’s the perfect way to showcase your collectables like precious gems, rocks, acorn hats, paper clips, stickers and more. This mixed media project is the perfect blend of flat and dimensional objects, and you can keep it as is or switch up the contents as you discover more beauty in the world around you.

Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult - these workshops are intended to be an experience shared by the family, whether that means your relatives or your chosen family. Thank you!

When attending any of our public programs please consider bringing non-perishable food and hygiene products to donate to the Burlington Food Bank. Like so many communities, Burlington has seen an alarming 20% increase in the need for assistance with groceries over the last year. We are collecting community contributions to support the food bank’s efforts in meeting the growing demand for food security.
