Habitats for Toads and Fairies
Would you like to escape for a few hours with a whimsical craft class this summer?
Perhaps you’d like to welcome the beneficial toad into your garden with a custom made home?
Or would you rather embrace your inner child and create a fairy house for your resident fairies?
If so, you are invited to join us as we make homes for these wee creatures both real and imaginary. We welcome the experienced artist or novice crafter alike.
We will provide:
Natural building materials foraged from our South Coast.
Shared tools
As much friendly help, guidance and inspiration that you might need to create .
We will also have some tools to share but please bring if you have them:
Your sketchbook and pencil
Garden nippers
Crafting scissors
Any natural embellishments that you may want to add. Special shells, pebbles, or any interesting miniature accessories. We will be roughly working at doll house scale and smaller.
