Santa is coming!

Mark your calendars!  Saturday, December 5th from 9 am to 11 am Santa will be at About Memories & More!  Colleen Timmons will be on hand to take photos of you, your kids & even your dogs with Santa.  The following week we'll have your photos & a cd for you.  And the best part is it's FREE!  All you have to do is bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Law Enforcement Toy Drive for each participant in the photos.  All of the collected toys will be distributed to kids in Northern Arizona who might not get a Christmas otherwise.  We sure hope you'll come!

Sculpt aSweet Snow-pixie  in Paper Clay
Class Outline, Syllabus and Supply list

Sculpting Level: This class is designed for beginner to intermediate level students ages 15 and up and will be limited to 8 persons so that adequate instruction attention is given to each student.

Objective: Students will learn to sculpt a vintage style Snowman on paper mache box. The basics of working with paper clay will be explained. If time allows, students will paint and finish their creation in class, if not, instructions will be given so that students can finish painting their finished work on their own. Each student will also receive an instructional booklet with photos that outlines the sculpting process. This booklet will be the student's to keep for future reference.

Supplies: (The instructor will provide all sculpting tools brushes, armatures and finishes required for the class). Students should bring:

· a hairdryer or heat gun

· a package of Creative Paper Clay (at least 6 oz) (About Memories & More has this available for purchase)

· acrylic paints in the following colors: black,  red, pink and white. (About Memories & More has this available for purchase)

A protective apron or other garment is optional (sometimes sculpting can get messy). Please bring water to stay hydrated and dress comfortably. Prepare to get your hands dirty and have tons of fun! :-)
