In this class, we will learn how to make three homemade gifts from natural items. These are wonderful gifts to continue to make and perfect for the holidays! Who loves Gnomes? In this class, we will make Giant Holiday Gnomes out of balsam, fir and white pine while using the framework of a tomato cage. To finish them off, we will add a nose and large holiday hat. These Gnomes will be about 3’ high and perfect for your holiday season. We will also make smaller gnomes that can be a holiday decoration or used for a cork stopper in your holiday wine. They are very cute for that small holiday gift. Finally, we will learn how to collect and process balsam for your own balsam fir bags/pillows. In most gift shops here in Maine we sell the fragrance of the wilderness. Another perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. NO REFUNDS UNLESS THE CLASS IS CANCELLED OR RESCHEDULED.

Is your closet full of black-colored clothing? Would you like to learn what other colors look good on you? In this fun interactive class, you’ll be draped in a variety of colors to learn about warmer and cooler tones to determine what types of colors look best on you. You’ll also receive recommendations for eye shadows, blush and lipsticks for your coloring so you can put the two together to create a more vibrant you!
