Ever wanted a pet that never needs walking, feeding, or a vet visit? Join needle felting instructor Kristin Roadhouse of Roadhouse Creatives for a morning of sculpting your very own wool creatures, no actual rock required (unless you want one). In this class, we’ll throw it way back & make some pet rocks! There are no rules for this class (other than have fun), so bring your creativity & whimsy. You can make as many pet rocks as you want during this 2-hour course. Kristin will show you the basics of needle felting & let your creativity run rampant - give your pet rock crazy eyes, a mohawk, rainbow cow spots, the sky is the limit. Grown-ups, you're part of the fun too (more on that below).

🧶 What You'll Do

• Learn the basics of needle felting, no experience needed

• Make designs from a selection of fun colored wool

• Shape and sculpt colorful wool roving into a one-of-a-kind creature (or 2 or 3!)

• Take home some new wool pets that you made with your own two hands (and a barbed needle)

🎨 All Materials Provided

• Felting needles and wool roving in a variety of colors

• Felting pads and finger protectors

• Everything needed to finish the pet: just bring your imagination

👥 Who Can Join?

• Kids ages 5+ with an adult present (adults attend free!)

• No experience needed: this is a perfect first fiber craft

🧃 Additional Details

• Needle felting uses a sharp felting needle, so grown-ups should plan to help with the pokey parts

• Adults, we've got you: enjoy free coffee and a comfy spot to relax, make your own pet, help your kid create or bring your own craft to work on while the kids create

• Limited to 15 kid spots so everyone gets plenty of 1:1 help from Kristin

• Hosted at Make at Rosie: air-conditioned with free parking

✨ Why Join?

Slow down, get hands-on, and watch your kiddo leave with a scrappy little wool companion that's all their own & a new skill. Zero upkeep, maximum charm, and a morning well spent making together.
