This hands-on class offers the opportunity to learn a brief history of handbells, composition of a bell choir and ringing techniques. We will conclude with voluntary participation in playing a simple song. Participants will explore the handbells, learn how to read basic handbell music and join in a group ring. No previous music experience is needed.

Create your own holiday arrangement with a mix of fresh-cut evergreens such as pine, cedar, spruce, holly, and ivy along with natural additions like rose hips and pinecones. A container with oasis will be provided. Participants are also welcomed to use their own 8” or smaller container if they prefer, bring candles to include in their creation, or cut or forage from their own gardens to bring individual flair to their unique creations.
