SUMMARY:Art Heals: Mosaic Sunflower or Butterfly Workshop – Park Rx
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 24\, 2026 | 6 PM – 8 PM | Fort Hunter Park (Barn Room 1) | $47 per person (includes all materials) \nThis is a fun beginner-friendly mosaic workshop where you’ll get to create either a bright and beautiful Sunflower Mosaic or multi-colored Butterfly Mosaic to brighten up your home. No prior experience is needed — just bring your imagination!\nYou’ll get to choose from a variety of tumbled glass pieces in every color of the rainbow. For the butterfly\, you’ll also be able to use glass dots for the body of your butterfly if you’d like. You will learn the basics of making a mosaic and about the supplies needed to create your work of art. And since the glass is machine tumbled\, sea glass is smooth and safe to handle for all ages 8 and older. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. If the adult would like to do a separate project\, please register for both the adult and child. If only the child is doing the project\, you can just register for one attendee\, but the adult will need to be present during the full program. You will be able to take your mosaic home with you at the end of the class. All materials needed for this workshop will be supplied to you as part of your registration fee. Class length is approximately 2 hours. A Park Rx wellness program sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield. \nContact Name: Ella Cook\nContact Phone: 717-599-5188\, ext. 2113\nContact Email: Ecook@dauphincounty.gov\nRegistration Link: https://bit.ly/mosaicbutterflyandsunflower
