Faux Pumpkin Decorating

Pull your spooky fun side out and come decorate pumpkins with us!

We’ll provide a primed pumpkin, a wide range of decorations to express your personal halloweeny vibes.

To make it even better, we’ll give you credit for a treat, soda, or coffee to enjoy while you explore your inner pumpkin feelings.

A teacher will be on hand to give instruction and provide support to make your creation as perfect (or messy, we support messy choices here) as it can be!

Class size is limited to 10, so sign up before this opportunity passes awaaaayyy!

2 Hours of Teaching Time

Lots of Fun!

A note from Jennifer about herself:
I am an adopted child; both of my parents are Native American but I was adopted to German/Polish parents. Fortunately my parents were committed to ensuring I knew and was connected to my heritage as I grew up, and I am excited to share this piece of it with you!
I have always loved art! So much that I earned an associates degree in Commercial Art. I simply love any kind of artistic expression: Photography, Drawing, Airbrush, Beading, and of course making Dreamcatchers!
Throughout my life I have always loved learning absolutely anything. Learning is the way of life!
I look forward to meeting you in this new class!
