Exciting and fun workshops continue this fall at Millarville Community Library. Get a head start on your Christmas and make December a more relaxing month by enrolling in our pre-Christmas workshops.
First up, Sheila Woolner will show you how to make personalized crackers for Christmas or New Year. The workshop is offered on Nov. 3 from 7-9 p.m. at the Millarville Library OR Nov. 4 from 10-12 a.m. at Sheila’s house in Priddis. You will make one to three crackers at the workshop but with the skills learned, you will be able to make crackers for all your guests at home. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to kick off the holiday season, plus recipients will smile at the little surprises chosen just for them.
The cost for the workshop is $30 plus a nominal charge for hats and snaps. Sheila is generously donating the course fee to the Millarville Community Library.
On Nov. 18, Sara Young will teach you how to make a needle-felted cardinal ornament. These handmade crafts make excellent gifts or brighten your tree. The workshop is from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the library and costs $40. Wool will be provided and needles will be available at cost.
Call to register 403-931-3919 for these programs. More information will be available on the Millarville Library Instagram and Facebook pages or on our website, millarvillelibrary.ca.
