CRAFTING TO GET OUT THE VOTE - Saturday, Sept 21st - 1-3PM
Saturday, September 21st from 1-3PM
18+, all skill-levels welcome :)
NA drinks provided! Doors open 10 minutes before the workshop and close 5 minutes after we begin.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Join The Austin Common and Broad Studios Club House for a fun civics + crafting event! Learn how Austin's local government works and how you can make your voice be heard at the local level... by voting in local elections! During this two-hour workshop, you'll have the opportunity to make your very own vote-themed clay pinch pot, all while learning about what you'll see on your ballot this year.
The Austin Common (@The_Austin_Common) is a local news site and civic education organization that uses art and social media to make learning about local government accessible and fun! Each election cycle, they create easy-to-understand voter guides for all the down-ballot races that tend to get the least amount of media attention, but have a really big impact on Austinites' everyday lives.
During this workshop you'll learn:
The basics of how local city government works
What you'll see on your local ballot this year - including the Austin mayoral election, several Austin City Council seats, as well as Travis County and AISD elections
How you can get more involved in your local community!
How to make a basic pinch pot catch-all and add surface design to it
Crafting lead by Hallie Shafer
Civics lesson lead by Amy Stansbury
