Friday Ornament Class(es)

As you can see our Yvonne Kresal Christmas Tree Ornament class was a huge success with everyone, including our first time painters, finishing a delightful ornament. Each tree had the touch of a different painter who had so much fun decorating their tree with all the metallic paints and glitters. And, there was lots of socializing and snacking.

The group had so much fun that when they caught a glimpse of a manger with baby Jesus and a little shepherd boy, also designed by Yvonne, they planned another Friday class to paint that ornament.

You can join us for the
Shepherd Boy Manger ornament
on Friday, Dec 18th, 10a - 12:30p.
We'll complete the ornament in that one class. You will need to pick up your surface, a Christmas ball shape, and have your surface prepped by class. You know you want to paint one more ornament before the holidays.
