Circle of Hands Mar - Caterpillar and Butterfly

 
Circle of Hands with Mindy Upton of Blue Sky Craft Studio
Sunday, March 8, 12- 2pm Central: Caterpillar and Butterfly  
 
Bring together the skills of sewing and felting, music and story in this very special handwork circle! This class is designed for teachers, caregivers, and grandparents who enjoy the magic of creating beauty with handwork and natural fiber materials. 
 
It is inspired by Mindy’s many years in the kindergarten and the heartfelt moments spent observing the children playing with the sweet felted mousy, bunnies and dollies lovingly made for them.
 
Participants will explore handmade playthings along with a seasonal song or story. We will also create characters or animals that will enhance your program’s Nature Garden.  Each Circle meets over Zoom once-monthly on Sunday afternoons, 12-2 pm Central. In order to create a lively “in-person” feel to the course, these sessions are not recorded.
 
March 
The story of the caterpillar and the butterfly 
This is a beautiful tale that gives a moving picture of the process of caterpillar to butterfly 
We will create a moving caterpillar with wool and rods and a happy flapping butterfly to create this colorful and active butterfly story. Story will be handed out at class.

Participants of the workshop need to have basic handwork skills in sewing and wool felting.
 
A note about supplies: Mindy strives to create beautiful crafts that suit multiple skill levels or levels of desire, with upcycled and simple materials that you may have around the house. Materials or supplies may still need to be purchased, if you are new to handwork, and each participant is responsible for procuring their own supplies. You will receive a list of materials for class via email well ahead of time to ensure you are prepared. 
 
**These courses are offered as an enriching experience for parents, care providers and educators, but are not available for CE hours.
