Tours for classrooms, including homeschool groups, preschool groups, summer camps, and day cares are a great way to augment learning. All students spend time exploring the galleries with a docent, visiting the Hot Shop, and making their own works of art in the Education Studio. The experience for your students is based on the current exhibitions and connections we can make with classroom learning. Teachers may receive our Curriculum Guides to learn more about the upcoming exhibitions and lesson plans for pre/post-visit activities.
All preschool to 12th-grade tours include a hands-on workshop in the Education Studio. For an additional fee, second graders and older can participate in a fused glass workshop.
