Button Birds- Tufted Titmouse Contemplative

Wednesday September17, 2025

10:00am-12:00pm

$35.00

Join us for a relaxing, nature-inspired crafting session where we’ll create charming button art birds using upcycled materials, with a special focus on the Tufted Titmouse—a small songbird known for its gentle spirit and curious nature.

In this class, you’ll use a mix of buttons and other salvaged treasures to form a delightful bird silhouette on a sturdy backing. Each piece is uniquely your own—no two birds will look the same, and that’s part of the beauty. We’ll guide you through basic composition and layering, but the real emphasis is on slowing down, enjoying the process, and making space for calm creativity.

As we craft, we’ll reflect on the symbolism of the Tufted Titmouse, a bird often associated with curiosity, quiet confidence, and presence. With its bright eyes and signature crest, the titmouse reminds us to stay open to joy in everyday moments and to sing our own song—no matter how small.

Note: Because we work with salvaged materials, final projects may differ slightly from calendar examples
