Sculpture with the MFA – Join us for a fun workshop inspired by the amazing diversity of sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts. Sculpture is an art form with an incredible amount of variety and versatility. We’ll explore a range of sculptural pieces for inspiration and then we’ll create our own masterpieces with air-dry clay. This will be the perfect opportunity for you to relax and let your hands enjoy the creative wonders of working with clay. Once your masterpiece is dry, you can add color and details with acrylic paints.

*Please let us know if you need brushes and acrylic paint included with your kit, or if you already have those items.

Wednesday, March 19, from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET


Needle Felting – In this month’s workshop, we will explore needle felting. Using 100% wool roving, we will learn simple freeform needle felting techniques to create a friendly sea turtle felted character that can decorate your space, or sit in the palm of your hand. A perfect activity for beginners and established felters-alike, we will go step-by-step, resulting in a finished 3-D figure. Experience the wonder of creating sculpture from wool in this tactile process and open the door to creative possibilities! The felting needle is sharp, so please prepare your workspace with a placemat or covering to protect surfaces. All felting materials will be provided, including: wool roving, felting needle, felting mat, and step-by-step instructions. You may want to have scissors available.

*Please let us know if you would us like to send a pair of scissors with your supplies.

Tuesday, March 25from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET
