Join local artist and mom Alison Mitchell for a fun-filled day of creativity and holiday crafting! Kids will discover the magic of needle felting as they learn to transform soft, colourful roving into their very own festive ornaments. With plenty of room for imagination and creativity, each child will create a special handmade treasure to take home and enjoy or gift to someone special. No experience necessary—just bring your creativity and get ready for a fun day of making!

Alison Mitchell
Alison Mitchell is a multi-disciplinary Lunenburg-based artist. Her paintings, fibre art, and collages feature simplified, stylized subjects in vibrant but limited colour palettes. Most of Alison’s most recent work are “yarn paintings” that she makes with wool and a wooden rug hooking tool called a punch needle. The daughter of a devoted rug hooker, Alison is endlessly fascinated by Nova Scotia’s rich rug hooking tradition and loves exploring new ways put her own modern spin on this sustainable Atlantic Canadian craft. She loves teaching students of all ages about the creative possibilities of the materials around them – especially if that material is hot pink yarn.
When not making or teaching art, you can find Alison leading historic walking tours of Lunenburg, and teaching international law at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.
