Tickets include:
- A one-hour guided felting workshop
- A take-home felting kit (including needles and felting pillow)
- A felt cat/dog in its miniature boat to create in the workshop
- An additional cat/dog kit to create at home
Suitable for ages 13+, this workshop offers a relaxed and supportive introduction to textile art in a small group setting.
