Grownups Needle Felt a Mouse with Teacher Julianna (Saturday)

Saturday February 7th
9 –11 AM
at Small Talk City

You’re invited to a cozy winter weekend of handwork, connection, and rhythm for caregivers.

Join us for a guided needle-felting gathering where adults — and children ages 12 and up who wish — will learn to make a small felt mouse with Teacher Julianna.

This offering is designed especially for parents and caregivers who long to work with their hands while remaining present with their children in a shared, supportive space.

Those 0+ children not needle felting are welcome to watch, play nearby, or bring their own quiet handwork in a supportive enviornment.

Beginners are warmly welcome. Children are not required to attend in order to participate.

How this gathering works

• Adults will be guided step-by-step in making a small felt mouse

• Children ages 12 and up may participate in needle felting alongside adults

• Children ages 6–11 are welcome to observe, play nearby, or bring their own handwork

• Children ages 0–5 will have a dedicated play space with a support caregiver on site to gently lead play and help free caregivers’ hands

• Parents and caregivers remain present and responsible for their children at all times

This is not childcare, but a shared environment where adults can focus in community while children are welcomed with care and clear boundaries.

Food & atmosphere

A light morning snack will be offered to all, including:

• apples

• cheese

• seeds

• crackers

• homemade bread & butter

• tea

We’ll move slowly, gather gently, and honor the pace of the morning.

Details

• Time: 9-11 AM

• Cost: $65 per adult and up to 2 non-participating children

  • includes materials, snack, tea and your own felting needle to take home. 

• Children 12+ who wish to needle felt: +$20 per child

• Materials: All felting and finger-knitting supplies included

• Attendance: Choose Saturday, Sunday, or attend both mornings

• Babes in arms welcome, as long as your hands are mostly free to participate

Why two mornings?

Each morning stands on its own.

Attending both allows you to return to the work with familiarity — to move more slowly, refine your mouse, or begin a second piece while deepening connection with the group.

Attending one session will give you all the information needed to continue your practice at home.

🌿 Space is limited. Advance registration required.
This gathering will be confirmed once minimum enrollment is met.

We warmly welcome you into this winter making circle.

About Teacher Julianna 🌹

"I was introduced to Waldorf education and the wonderful realm of handicrafts when my daughter was around two. Since then, I have graduated the Lifeways program in Marin County and have attended several Handwork intensives offered through the Waldorf Practical Arts training in Orange County. I have also studied Early Childhood at the Waldorf Teacher Training in Mexico City at Colegio Inlakesh. This is my third year in the Early Childhood program at a local Waldorf school, where I am currently the Nursery Aftercare Lead. Waldorf world aside, I have a major love for folk art and working with natural materials that I collect with gratitude and care from our Earth."
