This month, the Union County Historical Society and Heritage Museum held their culminating event for the workshop, Journeys Through Clay, part of the Seeding Vitality Arts in Museums Initiative. The program was funded by E.A. Michelson Philanthropy and training and technical assistance was provided by Lifetime Arts.

Below are videos that captured the workshop, which featured participant artwork and short interviews with the students and teaching artist, Gail Morton. In the interviews, Gail shared her experience working with older adults and participants explained why they joined the program and how Creative Aging benefited them.
