Do you want to learn how to make a hooded, shark-faced, smiling, furry friend? Or a double-headed goose-necked opossum? These wild stuffed creatures are known as "Frankenstuffies"! Join Artist Nicole Havekost for a family-friendly, all ages, Frankenstuffie making class at the Rochester Art Center. Learn how to take apart and remake new stuffed species with simple hand-sewing techniques. All sewing skill levels welcome, from beginner to advanced! Pre-registration and payment required. Workshop ticket includes all materials for the creation of one Frankenstuffie. 

All children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Ages 13 and up are welcome to take the class on their own.
