Bird Bath or Feeder

Bird Bath or Feeder

I love making these small bird baths/feeders and I think you will too! They are fabulous for nestling around your garden to provide food and water for your feathered friends. This class will use simple slab building techniques and is suited for all ages and skill levels. These sweet little bird baths/feeders make great gifts and you will surely want to make a few extra for yourself.
