> ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
Homeschoolers
We would love to create a customized class for your students. If you can guarantee a group of 7 or more students, and can work around the Museum's existing schedule of studio classes, we'll give your students a $10 discount off the non-member price of an 8-week, 2-hours-each-week class. The same offer and conditions extend to groups wanting to take one of our Saturday youth classes. Other class formats and fees can be negotiated. All classes subject to instructor availability. For more information, call Laura Howick, Director of Education, 978-345-4207 ext. 305.
