Cocoa & Cookies Crafternoon: Holiday Painted Houses Workshop

Step into some holiday magic at our Cocoa & Cookies Crafternoon: Holiday Painted Houses Workshop - a cozy, feel-good afternoon designed to help you slow down before the holiday rush begins.

Inspired by the nostalgic charm of vintage Putz houses (those beloved miniature villages that have lit up mantels for generations), you’ll paint and embellish your own colorful wooden holiday home. Traditional Putz houses are made from delicate cardboard, but in this workshop, you’ll create a sturdier wooden version that captures all the whimsy and glow of the originals without the fragility - or the expensive pricetag. It’s a keepsake built to last, ready to become part of your holiday décor year after year.

Join us for a relaxing, creative workshop led by Emma Neuhaus, art instructor and owner of Heart & Craft. All levels are welcome - whether you’re a seasoned crafter or simply craving a fun, mindful way to unwind.

All supplies are provided, along with a delicious spread of cookies, a hot cocoa bar, and assorted teas. Settle in for an afternoon of crafting, connection, and a little well-deserved calm before the holiday chaos kicks in.

Info: Grab a warm beverage, some sweet treats, and get settled into your work station.

Info: Pick out your supplies and get to know your materials! Choose from a range of acrylic paint colors and festive embellishments to make your house sparkle. Your instructor will guide you through the first steps - sharing clever tips along the way. From glittery accents to charming little details, you’ll have everything you need to bring your holiday home to life in your own unique style.

Info: Refill your cocoa, cue up the conversation, and get started on your unique Putz house design - let the crafternoon begin!
