ALL AGES- Arete Family Christmas Party

We have hired an art specialist to help your family create a beautiful piece of pottery all together. All family members are invited to assist in the creation of a family bowl together. Students will glaze the bowls during the following weeks. We will have Christmas music playing and ask each family to bring a treat to share. This will be a great time to meet other Arete families and enjoy the holiday spirit. Please RSVP by 12/4/2017. We are so excited to share this exciting night with you.
