Instructor Virginia Coyle

18 yrs & up

Step into a world of miniature magic and learn the charming, vintage art of spun cotton! In this hands-on workshop, you will create a darling, hand-sculpted mouse, perfect for a whimsical display or as a unique keepsake. The instructor will guide you through the process of building a sturdy wire armature (the "skeleton"), wrapping it with cotton, and using a simple glue-and-water mixture to sculpt its form. Finally, you’ll paint your mouse with soft watercolor or acrylic tones. No experience is necessary—just bring your imagination and leave with a tiny, handmade companion.
