🧵🩸 Stitched & Stuffed: Create Your Own Snuggle Specimens
A full day of creepy‑cute crafting, plush taxidermy, Franken‑critters, and a curated oddities marketplace!
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Welcome to Stitched & Stuffed: Create Your Own Snuggle Specimens, a full‑day creative experience blending creepy, cute, cuddly, and monstrous craftsmanship! Join us for two hands‑on workshops, a curated marketplace featuring 6–10 oddity and artisan vendors, food and drink options, and a vibrant community of makers, witches, weirdos, and creature‑creators. Whether you want to craft a plush wall mount, experiment with Franken‑creature construction, shop for crystals and bones, or just soak in the vibes, this day is made for you.
🧵 WORKSHOPS 🧷
Workshop 1: Plush Taxidermy Mount
Learn to create your own plush “taxidermy” mount — a creepy‑cute creature trophy that blends soft sculpture, beginner‑friendly sewing, and imaginative oddity design. No real animals used (unless you choose to)
Workshop 2: FrankenCritter Workshop
Build your own FrankenCritter using mixed patterns, parts, textures, and stitching styles. Swap limbs, combine features, experiment with asymmetry, and bring your stitched‑together darling to life.
All skill levels welcome. All materials included.
