Friendtorship

✨ T-minus one day!! ✨
Tomorrow is the big Friendtorship showcase — and today we’ve been busy hanging art, laughing, climbing ladders, and getting everything just right for our Walt Morey ✕ PSUGD exhibition: Threads of Us 💛

Our middle-schoolers and PSU designers have poured so much heart into these pieces: companion species, collagraph prints, sewn magical objects, origin stories, and worlds built entirely from imagination and care. 🌟 

And most importantly, bonds that will last a lifetime. 

We can’t wait for you to see what they made — and to celebrate the creativity, kindness, and collaboration that brought it all together.

📅 Tomorrow — Tuesday, Dec 3
📍 Vanport (4th Floor) & FMH (2nd Floor)
⏰ 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM

Come through, bring a friend, and feel the magic. ✨

Coming Together, Stitch by Stitch💭

Our Friendtorship mentors and mentees from Walt Morey Middle School explore the art of sewing! Students recreated everyday objects through a mythical lens and worked together to create a tapestry honoring the little things that shape us.

Collagraphs, creation, and community 💭

Our Friendtorship mentors and mentees from Walt Morey Middle School came together to create collagraphs - a printmaking technique which allowed the students to design, cut and glue shapes to their board, ink the plate, and use a printing press! 

Check out these student pieces celebrating the values which hold us together. 

Art, ink, and a whole lot of connection 💭
Our Friendtorship mentors and mentees from Walt Morey Middle School visited the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art to explore Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt — a celebration of memory, making, and the threads that tie us together.
Back in the studio, we rolled up our sleeves for collagraph prints, creativity, and shared laughter!
