It's going to be a very busy, very public weekend in and around the Fitton Center.

But something many people don't see is just a typical afternoon in the Fitton Center studios and classrooms.

Here's a little peek. On Friday afternoon, March 7, both pottery studios were packed with artists sculpting, spinning and glazing a wide range of ceramic pieces.

Down the hall, the Friday section of Creative Aging Painting was similarly brimming with brushes on canvases, working on portraits. "This is why we're here," said Executive Director Ian MacKenzie-Thurley. "This is what we do. It's just fantastic to walk anywhere in the building and see people making art."
