ℹ️ About This Event
Join us for an afternoon of creativity and Fall fun at Josephine Sculpture Park! We will get inspired on a 30-minute guided fall art and nature walk. Then, artist Heather Dent and Berea College students will guide us in creating a pumpkin sculpture.
🎃 Each participant will receive a pumpkin to transform into something truly unique. We will have carving tools and a variety of craft supplies available. We invite you to think beyond a simple jack-o-lantern to create something unexpected. You could build a fairy house, pirate ship, airplane — whatever your imagination comes up with!
🍂 We will gather in the event barn (rain or shine) and stay cozy with fall-themed hot teas and honey. Bring a mug and your imagination!
All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
COST
JSP Member $10, Non-Members $20 (includes all supplies, instruction and hot tea)
