Need gifts for Christmas? How about a gift you made yourself. You can make fun easy gifts from a variety of fun techniques and take home some nice presents from Decatur Area Arts Council says Executive Director Jerry Johnson.

The workshop will use different art experiences such as making an acrylic pour coaster, alcohol ink ornament, magnets, pendant and more said, Johnson.

The Gift Giving Workshop is for all ages where they can make gifts for loved ones. The workshop will take place on Saturday, November 17 at the Decatur Area Arts Studio from 1 to 3 pm. The fee for members is 25 dollars, and for nonmembers, it is 30 dollars. You can call the Arts Council if you have questions at 217-423-3169 or go to their website at www.decaturarts.org for more information.
