Wine, Pine and Design Holiday Workshops for Private Groups

In previous years we have also offered this workshop to groups of 10 or more. Groups of people from work, exercise programs, or just a group of friends came and had a wonderful time. This year we are adding a new twist to our workshops. Bring your own beverage and we will provide the cheese and crackers. So if you want to plan a party during early December just let us know. Cost for registration of $5.00 per person plus the cost of materials. We had several groups do this last year and hope to rebook them plus more. It was fun to see all of the creativity flowing.
