Who doesn’t love gnomes? In this class, we will make 3’ holiday gnomes out of balsam fir and white pine using a tomato cage frame. To finish, we will add a nose and a large holiday hat. We will also make smaller gnomes that can be used for cork stoppers in your holiday wine—very cute for those small holiday gifts! Finally, we will learn how to collect and process balsam for your own balsam fir bags/ pillows—the fragrance of the wilderness—another perfect gift! This workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike. Instructor Jessica Steele has a deep passion for the wilderness and for teaching.
