Birch and the students worked with art teacher Cynthia Cummings on the project over the course of several weeks this fall, creating ornaments that represent a variety of New Hampshire winter activities and the beauty of the White Mountains. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation that incorporates three-dimensional sculptures accented with a white glitter of snow along with gold and silver details.“I’ve worked in school settings throughout my career, collaborating with students on murals, sculptures and kinetic works,” said Birch, who will travel to Washington for the Tree Lighting. “This project was extra special for all of us, knowing that the ornaments will represent New Hampshire at such an important venue.”
The Lighting takes place on Thursday, December 6,
