Celebrate the season and join us for Caroling & Craft Night lead by Isabel Stearns and Naomi Westwater.
A clever twist on decorating your own gingerbread cookie! At this workshop you'll be introduced to the basic techniques involved in needle felting. Together we will "ice" the cookies with wool "frosting." This makes for a special holiday gift, or Christmas tree adornment. A fun workshop for all levels!
As Isabel leads you through felting, Naomi and their band will sing holiday songs for everyone to sing-a-long to.
