The HANDS-ON HOUSTON FALL FESTIVAL is a super-sized version of HANDS-ON HOUSTON, a free, craft-activity open house on the first Saturday of every month (11 AM – 3 PM). Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to current exhibitions and events at HCCC. Community members of all ages are welcome, and materials are provided.
