Summary
The Bizarre Bazaar Christmas Collection Craft Show is looking for fresh new vendors this year! Students are asked to come up with a fresh, new, innovative, crafty, idea that could hypothetically be sold at The Annual Bizzare Bazaar Christmas Collection Craft Show. Students will come up with a craft and collaborate with peers to create a presentation on how to create the craft. The student groups will be composed of at least one English student and one Art student. The students may choose any craft they want. The group will be responsible for mastering the craft and then decide on a way to share their instructions to an audience in a fun, easy-to-follow, accurate, how-to presentation.
