Creative Aging brings together Jefferson students and local elders to connect through creative activities including art-making and storytelling. This initiative explores approaches to creative aging, a practice that seeks to imbue late-life with creativity and meaning while countering notions of ageism. The workshop series is led by Cassandra Stancil Gunkel, an artist, historian and folklorist, who works in fiber, printmaking and photography.
