One Book Cherry Hill: Collaborative Story Quilt

In this hands-on screenprinting program, participants will help create a collaborative story quilt based on Faith Ringgold’s Tar Beach. After hearing the story of Tar Beach, children will think of their own story: the story of themselves, their family, the place where they live, and the dreams that they have. Using paper cut shapes, they will then screenprint their design onto a quilt block. Two blocks will be made by each child: one for them to keep and one for a collaborative story quilt to be sewn and displayed by the library. Due to limited capacity, this community project is limited to youth with Cherry Hill library cards.
