About the event
Join guest artist Abby Cali for a delightfully playful fiber experience centered around creating tiny fruit-inspired companions bursting with texture, personality, and charm. Using colorful wool roving and beginner-friendly felting techniques, participants will sculpt sweet miniature creations that can become keychains, bag charms, pocket-sized keepsakes, or tiny pals for everyday adventures.
Whether you gravitate toward smiling strawberries, funky citrus friends, abstract produce creatures, or entirely made-up fruity beings, this activation celebrates imagination, softness, and the joy of crafting whimsical objects by hand.
✨ Materials include:
 • Colorful wool roving
 • Felting needles
 • Woolbuddy bases & supplies
