We are also going to make ornaments and most have some good ideas already on what they'll use. The student will be eager to create ornaments and some cool holiday projects that resemble holiday festivities, traditions, and iconic symbols. The students are enjoying the holiday times and are going to enjoy spreading cheer with their holiday projects! \r\nWe are all very happy and looking forward to the new glazes, brushes, and supplies that will help us make more great projects the rest of the school year!
