Itinerary
Day 1
Hands-on workshop where guests choose parts, watch staff sew the body, and finish their monster with chosen eyes and mouth.
Making a wool monster
Choose bodies, feet, hands, tails, hair and horns from the studio selection. Staff will sew components together; you select the eyes and mouth and add final personal touches. Light refreshments (coffee/tea, juice/water) are available during the session.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start to settle in and choose parts—parking is limited near the studio, so a short walk from the street may be required.
- Dress for crafts: wear a layer you don't mind getting small wool bits on; small children do best seated on laps or booster seats for easier reach.
- If anyone in your group has wool or latex allergies, notify the host in advance so they can suggest suitable handling and seating; bring a small wet wipe pack for quick cleanups.
