Build a Faerie Dwelling for the Little Folk of the forest

Calling all nature enthusiasts and little architects! Join us for a whimsical workshop where we'll create enchanting homes for the faeries and elementals of the forest. Guided by Melissa Hewitt from Circle Creative Collective.

Reserve your spot! Only 20 places available.

What to Expect:

• Crafting with Love: Use natural treasures to construct miniature masterpieces. We'll provide guidance on crafting techniques and have additional natural building materials available.

• A Touch of Magic: We'll weave in elements that welcome the nature spirits, like tiny doorways, little windows, and pathways.

This workshop is perfect for:

• Families with children aged 5 and above, one adult per child

• Nature and Faerie lovers

• Anyone who wants to tap into their creative spirit

What to Bring:

• Gather Your Treasures: We invite you to bring in natural materials from your own yards or local explorations. Keep your eyes peeled for special twigs, colorful stones, acorns, bark, little pinecones, moss, and any other bits that spark your imagination. Rounded shaped bark and bigger pieces of birch-like bark are very helpful. Remember, as you gather, to always collect with reverence and ask permission first and only take a bit from any one area. It’s always nice to leave something natural in return, we like to leave a kiss or a sweet song. We'll also have a variety of natural building materials on hand.

• Feel free to dress as a faerie! Wear your wings, flower crowns, or anything else that sparks your imagination. But remember we might get a bit dirty.

• A sense of wonder and a playful heart!

We'll Provide:

• Additional natural crafting materials

• Guidance and inspiration

• Hot glue guns (each child should be accompanied by an adult helper)

• A magical space to gather

Let's create a haven for the hidden world and celebrate the magic of nature together!
