This unique workshop offers an opportunity to create your own exquisite pieces while exploring the rich heritage of artisan narratives. Learn alongside the talented facilitators from Botanique, a female-owned collective from Antigua and Barbuda, and discover the artwork of the renowned Antiguan artist Frank Walter (1926-2009).
