Hammond Castle, Plein Air Class with Sue Wheeler

From stick figure doodlers to first-rate talents, join us for a seaside, Plein Air sketch class with Sue Wheeler of Arts Abound in Magnolia. All skill levels are welcome! This two-hour session includes a 30-minute beginner sketch lesson. All you need to bring is a sketchbook, pencils and an eraser. We also encourage you to bring a folding chair and sunscreen. Sue has studied under numerous artists to learn watercolor, acrylic painting, cold wax & oil, and collage.  Sue’s philosophy on the creative process encourages you to be concerned less about the final product and instead to enjoy the journey of creativity and get lost in the moment. Once you find yourself in your work, you may just surprise yourself!

Attendance is $20 per class.

Hammond Castle Museum Member savings apply.

Dancing in the ocean with the seagull watching, by the way, my daughter Kimberly was having such a good time.

Relaxation as well at the ocean

Volunteer docents will be giving tours of the flowers at 4:00 PM each Sunday from now until September 29th.  The tours are weather permitting and will be around half an hour.  Come by if you would like to learn more about Generous Gardeners and the volunteers who help the flowers bloom for all to enjoy.

Our Dahlia Bouquet event will be October 14th from noon until we run out of flowers. For this event we cut down the blooming dahlias and make arrangements for the public to purchase.  Then we start the process of digging out the dahlias to store for the winter.

Enjoy the flowers!

The Happy Humpback is reopening, so glad to have them back

We’re Reopening!
Hello there! Aaron has spent the last five weeks recovering from a rare and deadly form of bacterial meningitis. He continues to deal with some of the effects of his severe brain and blood infection, but has come a very long way, so we will be reopening this Saturday, August 5th!

In order to allow Aaron more opportunities to continue his recovery, we will now be open Wednesday through Sunday. As a result, our double points will now be offered on Wednesdays since we will be closed on Tuesdays. If you haven’t already, you can sign up for our loyalty program here.
