ArtsLab workshops connect New York City teens ages 13 to 18 with visual artists for a hands-on artmaking experience.

In this beginners' needle-felting workshop with fiber artist and puppeteer J Hann, participants will create their own whimsical or weird keychain. They will learn the basics of needle felting and how to add details to tiny keepsake sculptures.

Participants must bring a valid high school student ID to attend the workshop.

Space is limited, and registration is required in advance. Have questions? Email us at education@madmuseum.org.
