Move over mini Christmas trees! A handcrafted tabletop driftwood tree will add a touch of Maine coast to your holiday decor. Join instructor Chris Toy for this fun, hands on craft activity using driftwood and recycled wire from political signs. Additionally, students who choose to, can spruce up their driftwood creation for the holidays with garland, tinsel, ornaments, or even a tree skirt! All materials will be supplied, but feel free to bring you own supplies from your walks along the shore, battery powered drill, and garden clippers.
