Maker Workshop: Plushie Ornament

Get ready for a joyful, hands-on session in The Forge where you’ll learn the art of hand-sewing as you make your very own felt penguin plushie ornament. As you stitch, you’ll uncover fun penguin facts—like how they thrive in harsh climates and glide effortlessly through the water.

Perfect for both beginners and seasoned crafters, this workshop offers a cozy creative experience—and you’ll head home with a handmade penguin ornament to treasure.

This workshop will be held at Monday–Saturday 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on the following dates in December 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
