Rain or Shine: 6 Fun Activities To Do With Your Girlfriends This Spring
Experience something new this Spring
Studio staff tested and approved!
As the saying goes, “fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not just stuff to show.” After enduring a long, cloudy, wet winter, Spring has finally arrived. Why not gather up a girlfriend (or several) and try something new this month and next? Yes, you could always do dinner and a movie…but we recommend trying something more interactive and engaging. From pottery to painting, here are six creative ideas for activities you can enjoy with buddies — all while supporting local woman-owned small businesses, artists, and communities in Winchester!

Kiyomi Yatsuhashi, a long-time friend of the Studio, local artist, and art instructor, is exhibiting her gorgeous Japanese-dyed textiles this month at the Winchester Public Library. All are invited to the artist’s reception on Saturday, April 13 (1:30- 4:00 PM) or stop by the library through the end of the month to see her impressive work.
Date: Reception April 13; exhibit runs until April 26
