July 10th | Kid Craft: Wet-Felting Workshop

Wet-Felting with Natural Wool Fibers:
“Nature’s Treasures” Sculpted Basket

Join the California Nature Art Museum and Artist Natascha Ruiz for a Kid Craft Art Workshop on Thursday, July 10th 2025, from 4:00PM-6:00 PM. In this hands-on wet felting workshop, kids will learn how to transform natural wool fibers into a soft, sculptural basket using water, soap, and movement. This process is tactile, creative, and a little messy—in the best way! Each child will leave with a one-of-a-kind felted basket they made from start to finish.
