I have
been teaching classes in the gorgeous gardens of Centennial Cottage for many
years now and was the 1st to introduce art classes to the Historical
Society. This year I am excited to be
teaching 8 classes. I love to share with you my love of the arts by teaching
fun and creative classes, and hope that you could find a class or two to spark
your interest and to possibly try a new craft.
It really is an enjoyable day learning a new hobby or craft and
connecting with people from all over the tri state area and beyond. Many people
come back year after year, and make a day of it. After class you can get lunch in one of the
many restaurants in town or a short walk to Asbury Park. Ocean Grove has 2 great ice cream parlors,
and of course the gorgeous beaches, so grab some friends and come get creative
in the gardens. I promise you that you
will enjoy your day!!!
