Crow

Class description

Students will create an awesome crow, the endangered Hawaiian 'Alala (which is my favorite bird). All the parts of the crow will be prepared and painted for the students ahead of time. After the crow is assembled we will apply the pattern which can be amended to your liking. We will go through the entire process of creating the crow so you can create more in the future.

This class is for all levels of gourders.

I will supply a complete kit to create the crow, paints, palm branch perch and clays.
