Welcome to Spring 2014! even if it does look like winter still! Let’s look forward to snowdrops, crocuses, tulips and the myriad delights of birds singing, sun shining, weather brightening as we plant seeds early this March and watch those first sprouts push up, those tiny closed buds on trees swell and burst open. It really is time to scatter thy pearls/upon our lovesick land…O Spring! (William Blake)

The workshop schedule for still-open March and April workshops is posted, please see the Calendar page.

Spring Blooms, Art and Poetry, which celebrates buds, blossoms, growing of every kind in botanical sketches and abstract botanical art, and growth, renewal, and change in nature and poetry, runs for eight weeks starting March 7.

This spring in our new Planet Earth series, we’ll study Gems, Crystals, and Minerals, which runs for eight weeks starting March 4.

From Journal to Essay, the  continuing non-fiction creative writing workshop which helps young writers transition easily to essay-writing from informal journal-writing, also runs for eight weeks, starting March 8.

Also once more we run the new Online Creative Writing workshop, Create a Magical World.

Please go to the Calendar Page for more information on all workshops.

Drop-in Art for recently or currently enrolled families continues, with some changes: Moms, if you’d like to come paint or sketch, with or without your child/ren, Sunday afternoons between 2 pm – 5 pm, please drop by. This term we’ll play with the art ideas from Spring Blooms. Please drop a note any given week if you plan to come–thanks!
