Bloom & Build Art Club- Holiday Gift Making Theme! Grades 1st-6th
This is a 3D sculpture-focused enrichment program designed to foster creativity, self-expression, and confidence through art-based instruction—with a special holiday gift-making theme so students can create a unique, handmade gift! Led by Christine Dougherty, a certified art educator with 20+ years of full-time teaching experience. The project creation is selected by the student.
Some project ideas they can create to gift or keep include: a ring holder, trinket dish, small planter, plate, or a cup customized to their liking. They can carve a favorite symbol or saying into the clay, and glaze it in their favorite colors! The projects are inspired and driven from your child's interest.
