We are organizing our summer activities: we've got Watercolor 101; Playing with Clay: Building and Throwing; DnD Mystery (I need a better name for that) plus Top Ramen Chef! I'm bringing back Balloon Twisting: to the Next Level. Bubbles are again in our future - they were just too much fun! More crafts: Duct & Denim!!

What I don't have are actual dates for many of the programs - my instructors are still coordinating their summer activities . . . So be sure to sign the 'interested' list at the Reference Desk.

Because of limited time with watercolor and pottery, you will be asked to do a little research and plan your claywork for either hand built or coiled. More information will be coming on both of these.

It's not too late to request an event or activity. Talk to Jill!
