COLUMBIA, PA For Mother’s Day, perfume, dinner out, and flowers are all very popular gift ideas. But how about a gift that will last throughout time?
On Saturday, May 10, at 10 a.m., participants can make a fun and attractive timepiece with silk flowers, a block of foam, Spanish moss, a decorated clay pot, clock hands and a battery.
“The Museum always enjoys sharing with others the workmanship in traditional timepieces like the tallcase and cuckoo clocks, but novelty clocks like the one visitors will create in the workshop, show how time can also be lots of fun,” stated Director of Education Katie Knaub.
Cost is $10 for each person making a clock, and admission to the Museum is included with the workshop fee. Pre-registration is required by contacting the Education Department at 717-684-8261 ext. 237. This program is sponsored in part through a grant by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
The National Watch and Clock Museum is operated by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) association with approximately 23,000 members, representing 55 countries. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., and closed on Mondays. Discounts are available to seniors, students, AAA members, and groups of 10 or more. Groups of 10 or more are encouraged to call ahead. For more program information, directions, or general Museum information, call 717-684-8261 or visit our website at www.nawcc.org.
