Maker Workshop: Mushroom Plushies

Get ready for a really fun-gi time as you learn the art of hand sewing by creating your very own felt plush mushroom in The Forge. As you stitch, you’ll uncover some of the amazing secrets of mushrooms–how they help forests grow, recycle nutrients and even glow in the dark! Perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike, this workshop blends creativity with science—plus, you’ll take home a soft, handmade mushroom as a one-of-a-kind souvenir.

This workshop will be held at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on October 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.
