Tea Cup Stories: Felted Scenes
Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 6PM
Join us for a rather lovely evening creating your own miniature felted scene, nestled inside a delicate china teacup.
This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for those new to needle felting, and you’ll be gently guided through the basics as you shape soft sheep’s wool into a small, story-like setting. Choose from a Mushroom Forest, a Fairy Garden, a Lavender Country Home & Field, or something entirely of your own imagining.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to build a base for your scene and create the individual elements that bring it to life, such as tiny houses, mushrooms, and little creatures. Most of your piece will be completed during class, though you’re welcome to continue adding finer details at home. Wool and felting needles are included in the class fee so you can keep working if you wish.
All materials are provided except the teacup, please bring one of your own, or bring $7 to purchase one before class from your instructor.
Cost: $38 Please Click HERE for tickets.

Basic cutting instructions will be given for you to create your very own design by cutting and glueing in class. All projects will be kiln fired and assembled and will be delivered back to the class location in about 10 – 12 days. An email will be sent out with pickup instructions.
Drinks that are covered are ok in the venue but food and glass do not mix. Wine is ok too!

Come learn how to create a beautiful tree created with up cycled and vintage jewelry in Garden City!
Please join us for this exciting up-cycled jewelry tree workshop. Come and make your very own beautiful creation. Maybe you have some very sentimental pieces you’d like to create with. You are welcome to bring your own collection as well! See comparable trees at $80-$100 and more!
There will be a few different sizes of frames to choose from using either an off white or black polyester velvet backing. ** Bring your own glue gun and glue sticks **
We will have a collection of jewelry, buttons and beads. You will glue the entire piece together in class following a few simple steps. I am so excited about this and can hardly wait to see what YOU make!
I had no prior experience in making my sentimental tree art. I watched some videos on what to use and how to assemble. I used some of my jewelry box pieces as well as jewelry from my Mom’s and Grandmother’s jewelry boxes. All other pieces are gathered and purchased from thrift stores and garage sales. I have collected some really cool pieces and will continue to look for more!
2 sizes to choose from:
1) 8 x 10 frame $63 + bring your own glue gun + sticks
2) 11 x 14 Frame $88 + bring your own glue gun + sticks
