In Person Workshop! Wand Making for All Ages
$40 for adults $20 for kids 12 and under
Come enjoy an afternoon of wand creation! Whether for magic or art, you will create a wand that sparkles with personality and power. Ami will bring some examples to showcase the possibilities. All wand materials will be provided including:
- The wand itself (found in Forest Park or the Lincoln City beach) and dried for many weeks. There will be a wide variety to choose from, but you're also welcome to find your own wand to decorate.
- A variety of crystals (adults only)
- Beads of natural stone as well as glass and plastic
- Various threads, yarn and leather to wrap with including some that sparkle
- Feathers
- Sticker jewels, pipe cleaners and pom poms (for the kids, but adults can use them too!)
- Different types of glue
