“Designed By You” Workshop At The National Watch And Clock Museum
“DESIGNED BY YOU” WORKSHOP
COLUMBIA, PA: With high gas prices, are you still looking for things to do that are closer to home before the summer ends? A good option is to visit the “center of time” at the National Watch and Clock Museum where families can enjoy activities together.
Second Hand Saturday Workshops are scheduled at 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month and cost $10 for each participant. Admission to the Museum is included with the workshop, so after you complete your own clock, see other timepieces that clock and watchmakers have made, even back to ancient timekeeping!
In the “Designed by You” workshop scheduled for August 9, a square shape is provided and each participant becomes a designer and can create a unique clock using a wide variety of decorations. After decorating, a movement is added making the creation a working clock that can be taken home to proudly display.
Pre-registration is required by contacting the Education Department at 717-684-8261, ext. 237. These programs are sponsored in part through a grant by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
