Forrest and I recently went to Hampshire College for my brother Sam's graduation and while we were there had a chance to visit the amazing Eric Carle Museum. The Museum has wonderful exhibits of the artist's work and other picture book artists, but what I really loved about it was all of their public programs. The museum has a children's library and an art studio open during regular museum hour. They offer special classes and workshops, but you can go to the art studio any time you are there and the art educators will have a fun art activity for you to try. Forrest and I did some printmaking. So much fun! After a week of going places designed for grown ups Forrest thought this was the best place ever! The museum has a great store and classes for adults as well. If you are ever in the Northampton/Amherst area definitely stop and check it out!
