Please join us at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft for HANDS-ON HOUSTON on Saturday, December 5, as we decorate wooden toy trains. Use paint and stickers to create a unique look for your train, whether it is speed stripes or an original logo. Make sure to see our current exhibitions before or after the activity to explore the artwork. Young visitors are invited to complete the exhibition activity guide for a chance to win a prize!

Please Note: The activity will take place indoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. No supplies will be handed out after 2:50 PM.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15-20 minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product and history of craft. More information at https://crafthouston.org/learn/education-overview/.
