Stumptown Art Studio has been transformed into Santa's workshop this week.
Elves ages 7 to 11 have been at the Whitefish studio every day after school, creating Christmas crafts ranging from wrapping paper to scented soaps. There are still two chances to get involved: Thursday's craft is mixed media poinsettia paintings, and on Friday, the workshop will be filled with the aroma of edible Christmas treats.
The sessions run from 3:45 to 5:15 p.m. at the studio, 145 Central Ave., Whitefish. For additional information, call 862-5929.
