In this class, students will learn to make a variety of traditionally handcrafted items such as candles, soap, cards and other gift worthy items, and then sell them with all proceeds going towards charity relief programs supporting victims of the war in Ukraine.

As part of the class, students will be introduced to basic entrepreneurial concepts: identifying customers, product development, marketing, pricing, and sales strategies. Students will design their own sales stand, price list, and product presentations. On the last class of the session, students will open a “pop up” shop to sell their crafts and raise money for charity.

We will work with the students to identify a charity to donate our proceeds to. It is our wish that students will leave this class with a sense of empowerment and a feeling that we are all able to make a difference in our world if we use our creativity and make an effort.

This class will run for 7 sessions. We will provide a walking school bus from Union Elementary School.

(We are committed to our students, families, and staff safety and health. To register for this class, children must have had at least their first COVID vaccination or have an appointment to receive their first COVID vaccination. All Wilder Arts staff are fully vaccinated and boosted. Everyone will be required to wear masks, regardless of vaccination status inside the studio. We will also continue to open windows and utilize our 3 air purifiers. We will also use our outdoor spaces as much as possible, for snacks and play.)
