Summer Teaching in the Gardens

I am so happy to be teaching again in the gardens of Centennial Cottage  in Historic Ocean Grove New Jersey.

 I was asked by a dear teacher friend of mind Mary, who works at the cottage, if I would be interested in teaching in the gardens and coming up with a few classes......

I thought why not...give it  a try...Well that was 5 years ago  and each year the cottage hosts a variety of interesting classes, taught by local artists.

the classes are held in the gardens weather permitting.....and moved into the museum if the weather is bad....which has never happened in all the years I have taught my classes.....fingered crossed for another great year......

 students are offered lemonade, ice tea or water and a cookie or two, and if you need to bring your lunch you may..   Many go for lunch after the class, we can supply a list of places all with in walking distance.....

it is such a nice relaxing day.... there is no pressure if you are a beginner...you are there to learn a new craft and enjoy the day......

classes start at 10:30 am and run till 1:00pm.  We have women from all over and children as well attend.  They bring their friends and make a day of it......

PAPER BEADS Monday July 8^th students will learn the art of paper bead making, then use these beads in interesting ways to create jewelry.

MACRAME Wednesday July 17^th students will learn how to create interesting jewelry designs incorporating beads and shells into their macramé pieces.

Please join me at Centennial Cottage in Historic Ocean Grove for a few hours of creative fun! Classes start at 10:30am till 1:00pm cost for each class is $15.00 plus a $5.00 kit fee. We will be crafting in the beautiful gardens weather permitting, however bad weather we will work in the museum.  You can plan on a day of crafting in Ocean Grove, then you may hit the beaches, have  lunch in one of the many great eateries, then grab an ice cream in one of the 2 quaint ice cream shops in town, do a little shopping….everything is within walking distance…  I promise you will be hooked on crafts and this adorable town….
