The E.L. Cord Museum School welcomed the public to its first-ever Open House.
Instructors were on-hand to discuss upcoming classes while showcasing their own works through display and demonstrations. Many interested students of all ages had a chance to interact directly with faculty, ask questions, register for classes and participate in art projects.

The Museum waived the entrance fee for the evening and gave non-members who signed up for classes that night a 10% discount while members received an additional 10% off the membership price. The community response was very positive as was shown by the high attendance and eager participants.
Open House participants receive instruction in ceramics from Amanda Rookey. Newsletter
