Join GAAC for a fun-filled handmade holidays workshop — just for the younger set. Creating and giving handmade gifts has a long tradition and is a great treat for everyone. Here’s a sneak peek at some gifts we’ll be making…

- hand-dyed silk scarves
- acrylic paintings on canvas
- mixed media cards on handmade paper…and a few surprises!
We’ll also enjoy a homemade hot chocolate bar with all the trimmings.
