SPOTLIGHT ON

JANUARY CLASSES

Dear Friends,

Welcome to our SPOTLIGHT ON JANUARY CLASSES & WORKSHOPS!

Is it your new year's resolution to learn a new skill or get back into a creative pursuit you used to enjoy? With classes in arts & media, music, drawing & painting, mindful movement & social dance, and so much more, there's something for all ages and interests! One visual arts student said it best:

"Glen Echo is just the best environment for creativity. It's become my new home away from home."

Looking for a winter break activity for your child? Check out a Hand Sewing Story Creations Winter Break Camp. Campers will learn basic stitching by making their favorite character out of fabric, inspired by a book, movie, history, or their imagination! Read on to see more classes for kids, including a Shadow Puppetry Class.

This is not a full list of classes & workshops, so be sure to check out our digital catalog to see our entire array of offerings.

We can't wait to see what you create at the Park in the new year!
