Spruce Tip Pots

The air turns cool, the leaves fall, the flowers wilt… Fall colors have faded. BUT THERE'S HOPE! Place a colorful spruce tip pot to either side of your front door to welcome you home each day. You will create your own spruce tip pot with a selection of materials provided. As you assemble the materials with help if needed, enjoy conversation with friends over a cup of warm cider or hot cocoa. This class will provide you with knowledge of the tools, materials, and creative ideas to make them on your own, although you just might find yourself signing up again for the fun experience! 

Please bring your own pot to fill-up to 2 gallon size!

Stained Glass Mosaic

Learn to create a beautiful piece of mosaic art using stained glass. The finished pieces will be approximately 11x14 inches. You'll start by picking or creating patterns. Your inspiration for your piece can be shared with Little Falls Community Services so the design can be drafted before the class starts, or you can use instructor ideas that you can choose from the day of the class. You will learn how to safely cut glass to create tiles, how to lay your tiles to accentuate your design, and how to glue, grout, and finish your design!

All of the tools and supplies for your piece are included in the price, as well as a mid-day lunch to be held in the space above the glass studio.

This is a great activity to do with a group of family members or friends, and you get a 10% discount if you register an entire party of ten!

Various Saturdays January - March | 8:30am - 4:30pm
