Circle in the Sand

$29

This concrete garden sphere is a true work of art.  It requires several trips to the nursery to complete, so we’re offering this project as a bonus for signing up for any three other summer classes.  You‘ll make a little more of it before each of your other projects and save on time & gas for your car. If you sign up for three other workshops below, this one is FREE!
