Join us for holiday cheer and festive gift-making using all kinds of natural materials! Teens 12-18 are invited to craft seasonal creations inspired by nature. Everyone can make and take home multiple projects – perfect holiday gifts.
With the Museum of Wisconsin Art’s Teen Council, Teens Night offers more sophisticated projects for the older DIY’er, led by teens, for teens. Get into the holiday spirit! There will be popcorn, granola bars, hot chocolate, and cider.
Crafts will include coal-burned spoons, wire-wrapped jewelry, collaged or painted picture frames, painted acorn and beaded wall hangings, and sea glass art.
