Craft shop to offer
Christmas workshop
by Rhonda Snider
Battalion Reporter
Want your Christmas pre
sents to have a personal touch
this year? Make them yourself.
The MSC Craft Center is
offering one-day Christmas
handcraft workshops where stu
dents can complete one item and
learn the basic skills needed to
complete other projects.
The center took a random
survey of students to find out
what type of workshops they
would be interested in taking,
Patricia Garrison, assistant su
pervisor of the center, says. The
classes offered are the result of
the survey.
The teachers are lecturers
from the center, Garrison said,
not University professors. Most
of the teachers are members of
the local Artist’s Guild.
“We try to find people who
are the best in their field to teach
the workshops,” Garrison said.
This is the second year the
center has offered a series of
Christmas workshops. This
year’s response is already grea
ter than it was last year, she said.

basement of the Memorial Stu
dent Center or by calling the
office at 845-1631. MSC Craft

neddle-point ornaments, pine-
cone wreaths, silk flowers,
stained glass ornaments, stock

wooden toys.
Fees for the workshops range
from $4 for wooden toys to $10
for jewelry boxes. Non-student
