Faerie House Workshop
Build a Faerie Dwelling for the Little Folk of the Forest
Saturday, May 2, 2026
1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Circle Creative Collective
62 Plains Road, New Paltz, NY
Calling all nature lovers and little architects! Join us for a whimsical hands-on workshop where we’ll create enchanting homes for the faeries and elementals of the forest.
Your finished faerie house can become part of the Faerie House Walk at the Hudson Valley Faerie Festival on May 30 in Kingston, or you can bring it home to live in your garden or a magical corner of your house.
FREE – please reserve your spot. Only 20 places available.
What to Expect
Crafting with Love
Using natural materials, we’ll build miniature faerie dwellings together. We'll guide you through simple building techniques and provide additional natural materials to help bring your tiny homes to life.
A Touch of Magic
We'll add details that welcome the nature spirits—tiny doors, round windows, pathways, moss roofs, and other whimsical touches.
Faerie Stories
While you build, we’ll share stories of the faerie realm—tales of sprites, pixies, and the hidden world that lives quietly alongside our own.
This Workshop Is Perfect For
• Families with children ages 5 and up
• Nature and faerie lovers
• Anyone who enjoys crafting with natural materials
• Anyone who would like to create a faerie house for the Hudson Valley Faerie Festival
What to Bring
Gather Your Treasures
We invite you to bring natural materials from your own yards or woodland explorations. Look for twigs, acorns, bark, pinecones, stones, moss, seed pods, and anything else that sparks your imagination.
Rounded bark pieces and larger pieces of birch-like bark can be especially helpful for building walls and roofs.
As you gather, please collect with reverence—take only a little from any place and give thanks to the land. We like to leave a kiss or a sweet song in return.
We'll also have a variety of natural building materials available.
Dress for Magic
Feel free to come dressed as a faerie! Wings, flower crowns, or woodland attire are welcome—but remember we may get a bit messy.
Bring a sense of wonder and a playful heart.
We'll Provide
• Additional natural building materials
• Guidance and inspiration
• Hot glue guns (each child must have an adult helper)
• A magical space to gather and create
