The building is ultra modern with two studios one the second floor, one is for art classes and the other is a pottery studio complete with kiln and pottery … (2 comments)

Some Encouraging Words - A Look Ahead - 04/10/10 07:50 PM
I think this positive outlook on what's ahead is a breath of fresh air. Here is an interesting piece from Eleanor Thorne that explains that the future will be bright, whatever you think!
It made me think about my eight year old and my ten year old, they want to explore, build, destroy, make robots, fly, shoot,(sorry!) watch tadpoles, drive, visit Denmark!, make robots do stuff for them, spend summers with their cousins in Ireland, what care they for recession, we have no time for that!!!
