Hands-on Programming/Activity:

Plasticine Stamp Printing (Saturday, December 12, 11am to 3pm)

Suggested Ages: 5 years and above (with parental supervision)

Create both the stamp and the print! Families will learn how to shape, mold, and carve plasticine clay to create one-of-a-kind stamps that will then be used as elements to create a larger print. The stamps will be remolded and used many more times but the prints are yours to take home. Prints can be easily turned into holiday greeting cards.

Instructor: Cherelle Oriolo

Free Admission: December 18 - 20
