Watercolor with Kas Rohm: Mop Brush Technique and Project

Friday, October 17

5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

An essential skill in the watercolorist’s toolbox is the ability to utilize the mop brush to manage large areas of wet-in-wet paint and create the soft flowing edges that are trademark watercolor features. We will discover how mop brushes can soften the edges to blend a beautiful field of flowers on large cold-pressed paper. Come loosen your wrist with a brush and glass of wine! All materials provided, including the wine!

Sound Scientists with Messy Happy Music Lab

Sunday, October 19

10:15 am - 11:45 am

Sound Scientists is going full monster-mode. Join us for a morning of messy experiments, gross motor play, and a Halloween singalong with musical SLP Corinne Zmoos. If your child loves cause-and-effect, they will go crazy for our puking pumpkins, witch’s brew slime, and bubble ghost stations. If they are on-the-move, the otherworldly obstacle course and spiderweb fort are sure to be a hit. Every station will feature the lyrics to a Halloween song, a stamp to track the sounds you encounter, and a blurb on the neuroscience of ‘why’ for each activity. After all of the mess is made, we’ll gather for a singalong that features your favorite songs about witches, ghosts, and all things creepy. Can’t wait to see you at MHML’s biggest event of the year!
