Family Art Project: Casting Spells and Starting Seeds

What magic can you create in the sowing of seeds? Take advantage of the last signs of spring to sow the seeds of carrots, peas, cornflowers and poppies—seeds that thrive in the magic of May. Create your own seed-starters using upcycled items that you can embellish with your magical spells of growth.

• The number of families able to participate at any given time will be limited to about five. If you arrive and capacity is full, program staff will provide a “come back” card so you will have first entry for the next session.
• Shine only. Check the website starting at 8AM morning of, for the status of the day’s program.
• Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and to work with natural materials.
• Have your masks on when you arrive! And please be prepared to respect physical distancing throughout your stay.
• The location will be the Conifer Slope, just to the right of, and below, Wave Hill House. Please enter from the paved roadway that runs along the front of Wave Hill House, then cross the lawn leading down to the Conifer Slope. Staff will greet you there!
• Throughout the program, staff will follow strict cleaning and physical distancing protocols to be sure that all materials and surfaces are safe for you to use.
• The Conifer Slope is on a grassy hill. If getting there will be difficult for you or any family member, please contact Mallory Muya, our Arts Program Coordinator, at mallorym@wavehill.org. We want to accommodate your needs whenever possible.

Most important: Please come prepared to relax and connect fully with the beauty and serenity of Wave Hill in spring!
