Fifty five dollars includes step by step instruction, frame, beach glass, and all other necessary materials. Choose from over 20 designs! A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Calhoun Christian High School Robotics team. Finished products measure 15 by 12 inches. Concessions will be available at the venue. Let's get the creative juices flowing! This event will be hosted and instructed by Vinny, aka 'The Richard Simmons of The Crafting World'. He is sure to keep things humorous and entertaining!
