Spring is beginning to bloom all around our campus! Families are invited to celebrate the first signs of a new season at our Early Spring Family Day + Family Art Workshop, where children will hand-build their own clay pinch pots, and then embellish them with wonderful tiny treasures from our garden, like pressed flowers and leaves, mini stones and even bitty sea shells! Our pinch pots are inspired by A &amp; H’s founding artist, J. André Smith, who was a sculpture artist, and they’ll be ready to take home after the workshop!We'll also have an "I Spy Spring" themed scavenger hunt, spring craft stations (great for littles too!) plus drawing and coloring tables! There will be more surprises too, like face painting and free admission to three museums! Our family art workshop is recommended for children ages 4 and over, and under 4 with parental help!Space and art supplies are limited (one pinch pot and other craft station projects per child, while supplies last), so sign up today!Admission to this event is FREE!
