It's a bird! Learn how to turn recycled, plastic, paper, cardboard, and wire into a fun and fabulous feathered friend. During this two-day workshop, students will create their own, whimsical 12-inch-tall bird. While everyone will start with the same basic materials, each bird is guaranteed to have its own fun personality. Joyce Curvin supplies all the materials for this fun adventure.
Cost is $170.00 for Members and $215.00 for Non-Members. Space is Limited to 12 students.
