Have fun creating with your child and make beautiful art for family and friends!

Taught by Bookbinder and Artisan Ramon Townsend, this class welcomes children and their guardians, as well as adults on their own. Parents are asked to stay with any children under the age of 13 (no extra charge for the parent). The session will run from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM on Jan. 18, 2025, at the Mennonite Heritage Center (565 Yoder Rd., Harleysville).

A Persian art from the 15th century, marbling involves creating watercolor designs in a fluid base before conveying it onto paper. Marbling is one of the easiest crafts to master — literally in just a few minutes, you will become an accomplished marbler. It is a mistake-free art and one of the most creative and beautiful. In this three-hour class, you will make 10-20 sheets of marbled paper. No special skills are required. The workshop is open to participants ages eight and up.

The cost of the class is $75 for members ($80 for nonmembers) and includes all materials and fees. Preregistration is required, and class size is limited. Register here or call 215-256-3020.

Programming at the Mennonite Heritage Center shares Anabaptist-Mennonite stories to educate, inspire, and witness to the church and community.
