Course Description:

Nothing means more to someone special than a present filled with thought and love. This year, instead of buying something, why not give a work of art that you made?

In this 3-week workshop you will have the opportunity to create something totally new or finish up a previous project you have been working on. As the class concludes, you will receive a custom handmade frame, learn how to mount your artwork, wrap it, and turn it into a present in time for the holidays.
