Hands on Learning

These sold out last year and this year we are adding extra slots

Product Making - Choose to take as many as you would like 

                 Each session  is hands on as you will learn a new skill or                           perfect an old skill. As you will see on the registration form, these are an additional cost, but the are an actual class, not a demo. The additional expense will help us cover the cost of the materials.
