The crossover from February to March is a moment when I hold my breath, feeling spring is almost within reach and wondering how strong winter’s grip will be. A perfect moment for natural distractions, and creative ones, too! Try a guided garden walk or a leisurely stroll on your own. Sign up for a new woodworking workshop―a late addition to our calendar inspired by our much-loved Wave Hill Chair workshop. Or sign up to spend a few hours with Winter Workspace artist Cecile Chong, learning to meld storytelling and encaustic.
