DESCRIPTION:Ready to embark on an exciting cultural journey and bring your
  imagination to life? Join us for China Discovery, an engaging, hands-on 4
 -week workshop series where children explore Chinese heritage through crea
 tive art, bringing iconic Chinese foods and culinary traditions to life! (
 Please note: This is a hands-on art and crafting workshop. No actual food 
 will be served or consumed during class.)Designed for students in grades 2
 –4 (ages 7–9), each weekly session introduces a beloved traditional Ch
 inese food or festive treat—from traditional mooncakes and hand-pulled n
 oodles to lucky dumplings and candied fruit skewers. Through interactive s
 torytelling and hands-on art activities using colorful, lightweight clay, 
 paper, and other creative materials, participants will explore the cultura
 l stories and traditions behind these foods while developing fine motor sk
 ills through molding, texturing, folding, shaping, and arranging. Children
  will create their own unique artistic interpretations of traditional Chin
 ese foods to take home. All skill levels are welcome, and all materials wi
 ll be provided.This class meets for four Saturdays (9/19, 9/26, 10/3, and 
 10/10) and is strictly capped at 12 students. Out of respect to the instru
 ctor and due to the limited number of seats, please commit to attending on
  all four dates. Lessons will build on one another. About the InstructorÂ
