Support of $4000 a year would help us reach double the number of students in a year.

Participants will select their timber and clean/sand to take the twig back to a raw state. Using wire and/or magik sculpt to achieve a balanced form, the mini sculpture is ready for spray painting white (if desired). Once dry, lead crystals (2) and a hanging thread are attached ready to take home.
