Brushstrokes of Spring: Center of Gravity Welcomes Spring with Art

To welcome the arrival of spring, Center of Gravity members came together on a Tuesday evening to paint pottery at Creative Space. With hot drinks and cake to inspire them, they picked up a brush and let the colors guide them. Some designed patterns sparked by gravitational-wave physics, while others went for more abstract creations. Physics skills aside, they found out that several artists reside amongst the group, making for an enjoyable and cozy evening.

Below are some photos of our team hard at work in their artistic endeavours.
