Date: Tuesday, October 6th, 2026
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Ages: 15+
The cool, crisp autumn air is sweeping through the pumpkin fields, and the harvest season is upon us. Join artist Erin Hurst for another seasonally inspired needle felting experience in the Curiosa Common Room!
In this two-hour workshop, you’ll create your own miniature heirloom pumpkin ornament, transforming soft wool and whimsical details into a charming little piece of autumn magic.
Erin will introduce you to the art of needle felting as you learn the basics of sculpting wool, adding colour, and creating the finishing details that bring your pumpkin to life.
Whether you’re trying needle felting for the first time or looking to build on your skills, you’ll be guided through the process from start to finish.
Each participant will receive a two-hour guided felting experience, with all the tools and materials needed to create a single handmade heirloom pumpkin ornament to take home.
Cozy up with us in the Curiosa Common Room for an evening of creativity, good company, and a little autumn magic as we celebrate the season by making something whimsical by hand.
*Due to the materials and techniques used in this workshop, participants must be 15 years or older.
Instructor:
Erin Hurst (she/her/they) is an artist and creative, who you may already know as a part of the enchanting Curiosa team, but whose artistic practise explores beyond the magical walls of our little shop. Her artistic prowess looks to the moodiness of nature, takes inspiration from lore and stories, and whose cultivated skills range from using fibre arts, building miniatures, growing botanical sculptures, and exercises a wealth of knowledge in antiquated photographic techniques and modern photography.
Erin graduated with a Bachelorette of Fine Art from Vancouver’s Emily Carr University of Art and Design, with a focus in Photography. Apart from their photographic practise, Erin builds and creates little worlds in her work, drawing inspiration from a multitude of crafting skills, tableau arts and subtly intwines mercurial themes into her image-based stories. Her work has been exhibited in Mexico City, California, and London, England, and most recently her work has been published in Broccoli Magazine’s book publication, Spores, and the second volume of Mushroom People Magazine.
