Emma: Box Hill Recap | April 27th

Our latest gathering was a wonderful blend of literature and creativity! We met to discuss the significance of the iconic Box Hill scene in Emma, diving deep into its impact on the novel and its characters.
Following our lively discussion, Julie Hernandez, a talented instructor from Arlington Classics Academy, led us in a special watercolor workshop — a fitting tribute to Emma Woodhouse’s own artistic pursuits.
Many of our members revealed their hidden talents, creating truly beautiful works of art! We warmly invite you to join us for our next meeting on May 17th (information above)  — we would love to welcome you into our growing community of Austen enthusiasts.
