Interested in adding a craft to your House Tour, Mound Cemetery Tour, or Tea & Tour?

Pottery - Students interact with the early history of the property while learning about shaping clay items, just like Nathaniel Clark! They will create a unique piece of pottery from self-hardening clay. ($3) Paper Weaving - Students use a handmade paper “loom” and decorative strips to create a paper mat. Students have the opportunity to practice manual dexterity and flex their creative muscles with their color choices for the warp and weft “threads.” ($3) Paper Quilt - Students interact with the timeless art of quilting as they experiment with quilt patterns using colored cardstock. ($3) Whirligig - Students construct these ageless disk spinners and then have the opportunity to apply Newton’s laws of motion to see if they can keep them spinning. ($3) Thaumatrope - Students craft this unique optical toy that was popular with children in the 19th century. They have the opportunity to personalize it with their own creative design. ($3) Remembrance Poppy - Students are given the opportunity to connect with the historical tradition of wearing a poppy to honor soldiers who gave their lives in World War I. This custom, which began in 1918, is observed on Armistice Day (Veterans Day), November 11. ($3)
