The Silver City Museum will provide basket making craft class for children, eight years and older, on Saturday, January 5, 2013, from 10 am to 12 noon at the Museum. The Silver City Museum is located at 312 W. Broadway.
Participants will create a woven reed basket. Please note that due to the difficulty of this basket, this project is not recommended for children under 8 years old. Preregistration is required. Children’s craft classes will continue to be offered on the first Saturday of the month at 10 am at the Annex. Please check the museum’s website for the upcoming schedule. The classes are geared towards elementary school-aged children, and parent/guardian attendance is required, which makes these classes a great opportunity for family craft making!
Fees are: $5.00 per class, or $25 for the next 6 classes. Register in advance with Volunteer/Events Coordinator, Connie Downard at 538-5921 or email connie@silvercitymuseum.org.
