Each snake's head and tail will be made and glazed in class. Students will pound bottlecaps with a nail and create the body on heavy wire. Your instructor will return the snake assembled. This snake might just be able to keep unwanted creatures or birds away from the fruit on your trees! (But no promises!)

Artworks will be returned after the teacher fires them at her home and returns to Schack (usually takes one full month.)

All supplies included.
