COOPERSTOWN — Fenimore Art Museum invites the public to three special children’s programs with artist Ashley Norwood Cooper.

“The Revery Garden” is a series of three, one-hour courses featuring crafting, stories and poetry. Children will work with Cooper to make an art installation of a “Revery Garden.” 

The programs are from 11 a.m. to noon Saturdays, April 1, 15 and 29, with new activities offered each day.

Cooper will discuss Emily Dickinson’s poem “To Make a Prairie” and the meaning of “revery,” exploring part of the art exhibit (made from “revery”).

Day one activities include making paper seeds, flowers and trees to construct a garden, complete with butterfly eggs. The book is “Emily” by Barbara Cooney.

Day two activities include crafting bees, caterpillars, and cocoons to add to the children’s “Revery Garden” art installation. The book is “Harlem Grown: How One Big Idea Transformed a Neighborhood” by Tony Hillery.

Day three activities include making butterflies, snakes, rabbits, and birds to add to the children’s “Revery Garden” art installation. Book is “The Curious Garden” by Peter Brown.

The program is included with museum admission. Ages 19 and under are admitted free.
