Summer is in full swing at the museum! We are busy with a variety of events such as classes, camps, free play and formal events for organizations and future newlyweds. All of our Fridays and Saturdays are booked with receptions through October. During our wedding season, our children’s activities are held only on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so we can setup, decorate and celebrate these special occasions!
Drawing Camp at the Museum
We have just completed Drawing Camps this week! We had different age groups of 5-7, 8-10 and 11-15 year olds. We learned about shading, 3D shapes, first and second point perspective, creating portraits and more! We also played around with several different mediums, such as oil pastels, colored pencils, soft pastels, charcoal and more!
We still have many great camps coming up, including DIY workshops, creative writing, painting, pottery, and more! Check out our upcoming camps on our website.
In addition to our camps, we have free play Monday – Wednesday at the Museum with all of our kid’s activities, such as open crafts, Legos, Imagination Playground, Barbie’s and books. We have Storytime the second Monday of every month that is great for a fun story or two. The fourth Monday of every month we have Day Play, which is activities for kids 5 year olds and younger. Usually, we do a story and a simple craft, but for June we will have a small obstacle course for the kids. Are you up for the challenge of The Day Play Obstacle Course? You can find more about our children’s activities on our website.
Ladies Craft Night at the Museum
Kids are not the only ones having fun around here, we have lots of great classes for adults too!
Our Card Making Studio is on the third Monday of the month. Attendees can use our supplies to create whatever type of card they would like or can follow step by step instructions from Janelle to create that month’s card.
We also have Ladies Craft Night on the first Wednesday of every month. You will create different crafts with simple step by step instructions monthly.
We also have a brand new class for 12 year olds to adults, called Art Journaling for Everyone on the second Tuesday of every month. This class will be experimenting with new and creative ways to document thoughts and feelings on paper with a range of techniques and mixed-media art supplies.
