In this hands-on fiber workshop, we’ll be crafting three-dimensional felted plants, nestled inside found ceramic planters hand-curated by Alex Makes Art. Enjoy bagels, coffee, and other small bites while you stab, schmear, and bring a little fiber flora to life! This event is sliding scale, and we’ve set aside a number of spots for those in need of financial aid — just reach out and ask! We want this gathering to be as accessible as possible. We recommend this workshop for ages 10 and up, unless accompanied by an adult.
