Art Class: ​Bob Ross Painting

Bob Ross certified painter and instructor, Nick Reynolds, gave two classes in the style of Bob Ross himself on March 16 of 2019. Attendees were given the supplies and instruction to make their very own "happy trees". 

Art Class: ​Ambigrams with Beth Gully

On June 20th, 2019, author / Illustrator, Beth Gully, taught a class on how to create ambigrams at Harmon Museum. An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when viewed or interpreted from a different direction, perspective, or orientation. In Beth's case, when you flip one of her drawings upside down, you see a whole new image that was hidden there all along!

Craft Class: Holiday Centerpiece Workshop

On November 15th, 2019, guests set the mood for their Holiday gathering with a handcrafted floral centerpiece they made themselvers with a little help from Donna and the team at Aretz Florists. 

All materials (including fresh flowers and candles) were included in the ticket price.
