Questionable Entomology – Build a bug from scraps

26 July @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

A delightfully weird, eco-friendly bug-making workshop.

Make a bug. Make it cute. Make it weird. Make it entirely unlike any bug that has ever existed. πŸ›πŸ’•

Get your creepy crawlie on in this playful and, quite frankly, ridiculous arts and crafts workshop.

This is a playful, beginner-friendly craft workshop where you’ll transform fabric scraps, household junk, and rescued materials into your own bug companion. Think wonky antennae, ridiculous legs, questionable wings, and plenty of personality.

There are no rules, no artistic standards to meet, and absolutely no expectation that your bug should resemble anything found in nature.

This workshop is for:

  • People who think they’re “not creative”
  • Lovers of bugs, nature, and odd little creatures
  • Anyone who wants to get a bit silly and make something with their hands
  • Fans of upcycling, scrap materials, and creative chaos

During the session you’ll:

  • Dig through a treasure trove of fabric scraps and craft materials
  • Create your own weird and wonderful bug to take home
  • Experiment, play, and follow your curiosity
  • Chat with others (or quietly focus on your creation)
  • Enjoy one and a half hours of relaxed, low-pressure creativity

Whether you make a monstrous moth, a bodacious beetle, a crafty caterpillar, a sloppy snail, a wicked worm, or some new unidentified creature, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind bug and the joy of having made something delightfully strange.

All materials are provided. No experience needed. Just bring your imagination, your curiosity, and a willingness to embrace a little nonsense.
