PNC Arts Alive! presents Wheaton Wide Open Weekends!
Free admission Friday, Saturday and Sunday: December 2015 & January 2 & 3, 2016
Free Admission: December 11 - 13
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
Block Printing: Make Your Own Wrapping Paper (Saturday, December 19, 11am to 3pm)
Suggested Ages: 5 and above (with parental supervision)
Add a special touch to your gifts this year and create your own wrapping paper! In this workshop we will use a variety of pre-carved rubber blocks, stamps, inks, and drawing tools to create unique wrapping paper.
Instructor: Cherelle Oriolo
Free Admission: December 26 + 27
Knitting/Crocheting Circle (Saturday, December 26, 11am to 3pm)
