March Class Schedule

March 4th Colorful Coiled Flowers - Flowers don't last forever. Unless they're made of colorful wire! This one's just for hands on fun. Using several different colors of wire we'll make a bouquet of flowers, complete with leaves, worthy of gracing the dining room table. Studies show handcrafts boost hand-eye coordination and, trust me, some of these swirls take coordination!

March 11th Bad Babies - Primitive Ragdolls that either need a little extra lovin' or look like they already had a bit too much! I'll stitch up some muslins ahead of time so that we can just stuff, put on a limb or two, dress and embellish.

March 25th Fabric Crown - Every girl has a bit of a princess inside, even if that princess is a rough and tumble one. We'll make a true mixed-media piece - fabric, buttons, trims, paint, markers, you name it!

March 18th 3-D Dream House - Who lives in your dream house? In my mom's dream house is her husband and herself, each of her sons and their wives and all three of her grandchildren - so those are the photos that I put on her house (bottom row photos). Maybe just you and your cat live in your dream house. Or your house doesn't have to have photos at all. It can just be full of color and words. After all, it is your dream house!

We'll embellish houses with paint, oil crayons, trims, images, personal photos, anything goes!
