Participants must be at least 18 years or older. Learn more about Stefanie's work.

The workshop will take place in Area G (close to the intersection of Hilltop Road and Founder’s Way) of the Pittsford Cemetery (see map below). Registered participants should park along Hilltop Road or Founder’s Way. There will be a short walk across grass to the program area, so comfortable walking shoes are suggested. Plan on dressing for cool, fall weather.
