Info on the workshops and their facilitators:
NEEDLE FELTING
Come and learn needle felting, an easy craft for making tiny cute things! You will shape balls of wool to make 3-dimensional animals, people, or objects. In this workshop, we will make tiny guinea pigs with pieces of colored wool and special needles. Vegan fibers will be available for those who don't want to work with animal products. Supplies (including finger protection !) will be available.

Taught by ALISON MINER, a librarian at the Free Library of Philadelphia, where she co-runs a needle craft group called Sew What?! Alison has been a fan of miniatures for her whole life and been needle felting for several years, slowly amassing an army of tiny guinea pigs which she swears will not be used for nefarious purposes.
ORIGAMI HOUSES
Learn how to make a traditional, square-shaped box out of paper that we will decorate to look like your house, apartment, or any other place you'd like to live! You can decorate inside and out to turn your origami Masu box into your new favorite place.

DOLLHOUSE CHAIR FROM TOILET PAPER TUBES
This workshop will encourage folks to be creative with toilet paper tubes and paper towel tubes, designer paper, and other decorative elements as we craft adorable chairs made for dollhouses. If there is interest, we can also show people how to make dollhouse plants from these same items. GINA RENZI is a lifelong dollhouse and miniature enthusiast who recently discovered that she not only admires tiny things but also likes to make them from used/discarded/found objects lurking at the bottom of her recycling bin or encountered on her many walks around West Philly. She is focused on the joy of making little things and encourages imperfection and experimentation.
