LONDONDERRY-Local teachers Bev Foster and Casey Junker Bailey will again be offering their popular art classes for children this summer at the Custer Sharp House in Londonderry.
Located at 2461 Middletown Rd., the Custer Sharp House is home to the Londonderry Arts and Historical Society (LAHS). In addition to changing exhibitions throughout the summer, art classes are offered, in honor of artist Bernadine Custer, who bequeathed her home to the historical society in 1992.
This summer, children will meet daily for week-long classes in the wonderful marble-floored studio attached to the house. For more information or to sign up for classes, interested parties may contact the art teachers directly.
