I'll have treats prepared for you to feed the pigs and you'll learn how to make them sit and get their treats. Then I'll take you to meet the adult pigs first the girls and then the boys. We have 20 pigs that make up "Halbert Herd" and their ages range from 4 months to 9 years. You'll get to feed the adults treats and they love getting attention and being petted. Most of them will lay down and want their belly rubbed. If we have piglets you'll get to spend time in the piglet pen, depending on their age, you may be able to feed them treats and when they get to be about 3 weeks old they will crawl on your lap.

The Color of Music Painting Workshop
From the studio everyone will be offered sparkling water or wine. Music will set the tone for inspiration. Then up to the roof to experience the spectacular Dallas skyline. Next back to the studio splash some paint on the canvas.
To paint the Color of Music put yourself inside the emotion it creates as you listen.
1. Thinking in abstract terms visualize the music in solid form like a photo with positive/negative space.
2. Draw the lines and shapes of emotion of the music. This will create the positive space. Make sure you are leaving enough blank canvas for the empty space between the notes for the negative space.

The parting gift is the finished painting!
