Students with 11 a.m., 12 p.m., or 1 p.m. time slots will make a cup, and students at 2 p.m., 3 p.m., or 4 p.m. will make an ornament. You can sign up for multiple time slots. Please contact the front desk with your time slot choice and if you want to purchase more than one. Ages 12-17 are welcome with adult supervision.
