Clay, little hands highlight The Grace Museum's January Tot Spot

Abilene, TX (December 27, 2006) - Little hands and the art of ceramics will be the order of the day as The Grace Museum plays host to tots from around Abilene and the Big Country January 4 and 5.

The program is part of the Museum's monthly Tot Spot, where children ages 3 to 5 and their parents or guardians come to The Grace to expand their large imaginations through hands-on activities and gallery games.

In January, the theme is "Crafting Clay" ... the children will take a tour through The Grace's Second Floor Gallery C to see Contemporary Ceramics from the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, and then make their own ceramic artwork during craft time.

Tot Spot starts at 10 a.m. January 4, and also runs at 9:30 and 11 a.m. January 5.

Reservations are required for the monthly program which is the first Thursday and Friday of each month. Cost is $3 for The Grace Museum members; $5 for non-members. Call 673-4587 or visit The Grace web site at www.thegracemuseum.org to register or get more information.

The Grace Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every Thursday. Admission is free Thursday evening after 5 p.m.
