You will make an approximate 6-inch snowman from white wool fibers to enjoy decorating with during the coming holiday and winter season. Choose to add a miniature red cardinal and faux greenery in your snowman’s arms and or make a winter hat and scarf from your choice of fiber colors to keep him “snug.”

There will be a $15 materials fee, separate from the registration fee, due to the instructor at the start of the class (cash or check). All materials will be provided.

Students between the ages of 13-16 are invited to register with a registering parent or guardian. This is a fun, very do-able activity for teenagers. There will be a storm make-up class on December 17th, if needed. Limit 10 students

I will lead you through several drawing exercises whereby we’ll explore drawing not as a product, but as a creative extension of sensory, intuitive, and responsive experiences. Materials included.

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.
