The Artistic Hand Gallery & Studio Learn how to let your creative genius flow!

“B

arbara was a master artist, potter, mold maker, as well as teacher, athlete, wife, mother, and most important "Granny B. Barbara spent her life teaching others her love of art and life. How to enjoy your life, every day! Good things and not so good things came her way with family and in the last few years her health. But, never a bad word. Always she overflowed with love, hope and inspiration for everyone, family, friends, students, strangers and her beloved adopted "Home" of Oviedo for the past 30 years.” The Artistic Hand's owner, Del Seaman, writes of his late wife. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to walk into this little gem, you’ll see and hear about the life of Barbara Seaman from none other than her husband Del. The stories that he shared with me told a tale of a full and rich life of which most of us only dream of. Then as you begin winding your way through the displays of artwork, you’ll see how that love of life has been transformed into the lives of others with encouragement to learn, to experience and to love the art of self expression through objects formed by hand. The shop at The Artistic Hand represent the work of over 100 craftspeople. Some are internationally or nationally known, while others are just starting on their artistic path. Also included are the pieces of some of the teachers and students.

Ceramic works by nationally recognized artists such as Rob LaWarre and Chris Jones, as well as many other artists covering a variety of work fill the shop with unique, hand crafted items that make the perfect gift or item for your home. From Pottery, Jewelry, Woodwork and Sculpture, you’ll be delighted at all the variety offered in this little shop. The heart of it all lays in the lap of a sincere desire to show others that they too can create works of art through all the variety of classes available.

Forecast calls for fun Get kids outdoors no matter the weather Parents often keep a running list of rainy day activities, crafts and games to keep kids indoors when the forecast is soggy. But if your kids have never dodged rain drops, built a snowman or enjoyed a lazy summer afternoon outside, they’re missing out on something wonderful.

Lindsay Legendre, manager of the National Wildlife Federation’s Be Out There movement. “Regular outdoor play is so important to kids’ healthy development and a little rain shouldn’t stop them from being out there. Parents might enjoy puddle jumping again themselves.”

Weather was cited as the biggest barrier to getting kids outdoors by 61 percent of parents recently surveyed by the National Wildlife Federation. But the outdoor activities kids love, such as running, jumping, climbing, playing games with friends and taking nature walks, are a great strategy for keeping children healthy and happy.

Bring on the Rain. Rain can sometimes be blamed for causing children to catch colds or flu, particularly when their hair or feet get wet. However, rain cannot make you sick. Dress children in waterproof hats, boots and raincoats to keep kids from getting too soggy. If storm conditions develop, get out of any body of water and seek shelter in a nearby building. Prepare for mud and splashes in advance by keeping a heavy mat

“Children are safe to play outside in most kinds of weather barring the extremes,” said

Try to schedule outdoor time during the early morning and evening, which are often the coolest part of the day. Allergies. In many areas, seasonal allergies are another challenge for parents to contend with in regard to outdoor play.
