Dale Cougar Armstrong teaches Dual Purpose Ornaments!
An ornament is something used to adorn an object or a person. What better way to celebrate and share your love of the holidays than by gifting a handcrafted Ornament that can be used to decorate both a Tree and a Person! Each student
will discover how to figure needed wire lengths, and then shape, chase, temper and texture their ornament before choosing to adorn it with sparkling crystal beads. Learn how to create the perfect hook that can fit either a branch or a beaded neckpiece or a scarf and the Ornament is ready to give and enjoy. Students will each choose their own designs and leave with two finished ornaments!
Your instructor will provide complete tool kits for use while in class and you will receive written follow-up hand-outs to
take home.
Please Bring: notebook, pen/pencil, digital or cell phone camera (no flash please), magnifying eyewear if needed, and a bottled beverage.
