FEBRUARY 2012
It's almost spring, and that means it's time to start thinking about a garden! Our class will cover such topics as the physiology of plants, which plants/types grow best in this area, soil needs, etc. Maybe you live in the city and don't have much room for gardening. Not to worry. Our garden class will touch on container/small space gardening techniques, too!
Students will also have the opportunity to plant a seed starter to take home. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions, too!
We hope you will join us as we get ready for spring gardening!!
Please contact us if your family would like to participate in this class.
MARCH 2012
Artist David Gappa founded Vetro Glass Blowing Studio, a fully-functioning and operational glassblowing studio, in 1999. Since then, it has grown into a beautiful art glass gallery and state-of-the-art glassblowing facility.
Gappa and his team of artists enjoy educating the public about this ancient art form by demonstrating the process while creating their artwork.
Since its inception, Vetro’s glass has found its way into the hands of art collectors, corporate designers, museum curators, celebrities and leaders of state worldwide.
Now, our group has the chance to view this unique form of art in the making! Families will even have the chance to try their hand at glass blowing! (just be aware that pieces will not be available to take home the day of the field trip)
If you and your family would like to attend this very unique field trip, please contact us. Deadline to sign up is March 9, 2012.
