About this event
Get into the holiday spirit with a fun and creative wet felting workshop! Children ages 9–12 will explore the colorful world of wool while learning the basics of wet felting. First, they’ll discover how soft wool fibers can be layered and shaped. Then, with a little water, soap, and hands-on creativity, they’ll transform the fibers into a festive accessory of their own. Each child can choose to make a beautiful brooch or a colorful hair tie. Along the way, they’ll experiment with colors, textures, and designs to make their project truly unique. Plus, they’ll learn a new craft in a relaxed and encouraging setting. At the end of the workshop, everyone will take home a one-of-a-kind handmade accessory. Wear it throughout the holiday season or wrap it up as a special Christmas gift for someone you love! No previous felting experience is needed. All skill levels are welcome, and all materials are included. Just bring your creativity and get ready for some festive crafting fun! Ages 9 – 12
