· as a CLASS, where I supply all materials, supplies and instruction to complete your project. The cost is dependent upon the actual activity and varies from about $25 - $65. Some supplies are available for purchase, if you end up loving the activity and want to continue on your own. This, too, can be discussed prior to your appointment.
