"Making Christmas Ornaments from Natural Materials"

I will be teaching a class on "Making Christmas Ornaments from Natural Materials" on Saturday, December 12th, from 11:00 to Noon, at the Peaceacre studio located above the Arts Council builing at 206 West 10th St., just west of the Lamar Square. I think this will be a lot of fun for the kids. It's not some big, heavy art class - it's all about glitter, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, paints and markers and having a good time. I grew these mini gourds and they just screamed to be made into Christmas ornaments! So that's how I got the idea. My kids had a really good time creating the ornaments you see in the pictures below. Also, since we don't want to leave out our little animal friends, everyone will make a "birdfood bangle" out of a popcorn ball to hang on a tree outside, as well. So everyone will leave the classroom with one ornament for the Christmas tree indoors, and one for a tree in the great outdoors, too! Who could ask for more? And it's FREE! Adavance registration is required, so if you would like for your child to attend, please email me at Peaceacre@Ymail.com.

Don't forget the photography class coming in January! It looks like the date will be the 28th, in the morning. We'll post more on this class later. Stay tuned!
