It was a perceptive docent who noticed the mix of workshop participants and exclaimed, "beach plastic art really is for all ages!” It was true — working side by side, were two girls clocking in at 3.5 years and several docents at the 60+ years mark. And the afternoon continued on with folks of all stripes enjoying themselves.
A quick adjustment of our plan to accommodate some of the special participants made for very happy campers — people could post on Instagram and/or have a take-away paper Valentine. Whether it was tracing around the plastic shapes or making fanciful arrangements in pink, red, white, and purple, there was something for everyone. And everyone took the Valentine message to heart, using the materials to "feel the love" each in their own playful and creative ways.
