CLINTON, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Mississippi College (MC) will host its annual ornament sale.

The decorations are available in a variety of shapes. Officials with the college said proceeds from the sale help support senior art education students' travel to attend the National Art Education Association's convention in March 2025.

The decorative shapes are cut from slabs of clay and bisque-fired in a kiln. The students glaze the ornaments by hand, giving each its unique color and texture. The ornaments are fired once again to acquire a glossy finish. Students add the finishing touch by threading twine or ribbon through the decorations, making them ready to be hung.

"I always enjoy being part of the process from start to finish, and it's great to spend time getting to know my fellow NAEA student chapter members," said Kyndall Mackey, an art education major from Olive Branch. "As a senior this year, I especially enjoy getting to meet the people who will buy the ornaments and thank them for sending me to the convention."

Ornaments will be available for purchase from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, November 18-21 in the Caf or by sending an email to Lillian Baker, fundraising chair, at .
