“Anytime is the perfect time to think of the magical world of fairies. We will be making a fairy display, and Hobbits for those who prefer. Using things we would find in the magical land of fairies and hobbits, each child will use their imagination to make a fairy garden of their very own design. Children who have fairies or items they would like to add to their gardens are encouraged to do so. Fairy believers unite!”
Led by Susan Colón, the workshop will provide the child with the materials to make a small fairy garden with natural and silk floral materials for a design that lasts all year long and does not require watering. This allows the child to build and add to the fairy garden or woodland scape and decorate it for a variety of holidays and special occasions.

“We all have a beloved book that we have, well…loved a little too much. We cannot bear to throw it away and it is not in grand enough condition to donate, so what shall we do?! We can repurpose the book to make a special memory or keepsake using other items.”
This class instructs the crafting of most cherished, yet over loved books that are no longer suitable for reading but perfect for crafting something quite unique. Children will decorate them, add special photos or other pictures and objects.
A variety of methods and embellishments are used to create a theme or simply express a beloved interest using a variety of craft items. Led by Susan Colón.
