HOMEMADE GIFTS FROM THE HEART
Giving is better than receiving, especially when it comes from the heart. This class will emphasize how to make holidays more meaningful by giving of one’s self through creativity. “Tweens” and teens will learn recipes, appropriate for gift giving. They will practice through preparation, but in most cases they get to reap the rewards of their labors, by tasting for themselves (quality control ya’know). Creative packaging will also be a key factor in this class and students may possibly bring home a gift or two ready to deliver. The holidays are the perfect time to set the creative spirit free!
