Try your hand at needle felting! The Desert Rose Cactus is the perfect starter craft for either kids (8+) or adults! Our trained instructor will teach you the basics of needle felting and you will come home with your very own felted cactus. Please keep in mind the needles are sharp. Band-aids will be provided.

Benzie Bashes are for adults or kids. Celebrate a birthday or plan a fun night out! Parties are 2 hours long and include 90 minutes of instruction time.
