About the event
WORKSHOPS
Workshop 1: Plush Taxidermy Mount
Learn to create your own plush “taxidermy” mount — a creepy‑cute creature trophy that blends soft sculpture, beginner‑friendly sewing, and imaginative oddity design. No real animals used (unless you choose to)
Workshop 2: FrankenCritter Workshop
Build your own FrankenCritter using mixed patterns, parts, textures, and stitching styles. Swap limbs, combine features, experiment with asymmetry, and bring your stitched‑together darling to life.
All skill levels welcome. Workshops are run concurrently in 2 different time slots. One craft per time slot. If you'd like to do both crafts, please select both time slots. All materials included.
