Wine Barrel Ring
Students will create their own personal and eye-catching sign with their family initial and last name. A marriage date can also be added, if desired. Made from a wine barrel ring and wood, each sign will have a rustic feel and be a great addition to a porch, dining room or any place you may gather. All supplies are included in the $75 class fee. Students will be contacted by instructor prior to class to solidify individual sign information, wood stain and paint color of choice. Class will take place on Saturday, August 18 from 9 to noon at the Community Center. Pre-registration is required.
