Participants will learn to make inexpensive silicone molds using home based products, in addition to making wire feet. Students will be making one owl. Pending how fast the group moves along with their mold and feet, they may not have time to finish painting their owl. IMPORTANT NOTE; One of the products has a strong smell. Each student will go home with a mold to make more hooting owls. Students need to bring Latex or similar Gloves, Needle Nose Pliers, Ruler, and Paint Brushes. Instructor will furnish all the materials including the gourd to make one owl.
