Paint Your Own Syracuse China-Inspired Tile Monday Funday Moved to August 5
Due to unforeseen circumstances we have to switch the Paint Your Own Syracuse China-Inspired Monday Funday, which was originally scheduled for Monday July 22nd, with the Marbling Paper Monday Funday. As such, on Monday July 22nd we will be holding the Marbling Paper Monday Funday at 1:00 PM. Marbling paper is a fun and artistic activity, so we hope that anyone that was interested in the tile activity will still attend.
NOTE: The Paint Your Own Syracuse China-Inspired Tile Monday Funday will be held on Monday August 5 at 1:00 PM.
