Get inspired by the life in the Craft Garden, and create your very own critter out of a menagerie of beads and colorful wire!
About this Event

Spring is here, and the Craft Garden is buzzing with life! All sorts of creatures call the Craft Garden home–from squirrels, frogs, and birds to our most tiny residents: insects! Bugs like monarch butterflies, caterpillars, and dragonflies serve important roles in our gardens as pollinators. Get inspired by the life in the Craft Garden, and create your very own critter out of a menagerie of beads and colorful wire! Learn how to twist and mold your own tiny insects to add to your garden or spring decorations! What kind of critter will you bring to life?

Note: Please allow 25 minutes to complete this activity. The activity will take place outdoors, weather permitting, and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month (except in July). Each month, a teaching artist or guild demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Community members of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11AM and 3 PM and participate in a 20–25-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to inspire and connect people to the art and process of making. Learn more here.

This program was financially assisted by Impact100 Houston.
