Stop by the studio to play with clay and make your own magic bowl. You can also chat with an astrologer to learn more about signs of the zodiac. Once you identify your sign, visit the exhibition galleries to check out works of art with astrological symbols. Then, in the galleries, take a peek at an art-making technique and learn how works of art were created through handling tools and materials.

Check the schedule for a full listing of the afternoon's offerings.
