Sip & Stab Needle Felting Class (with wine!)
In this beginner-friendly needle felting class, you’ll learn how to “paint” with wool while sipping delicious wine from Shenandoah Vineyards! We'll use dryer balls as a canvas, which you'll decorate to become a piece of art (or upgrade your laundry experience by using them as actual dryer balls!). These would also make great homemade gifts!

About Home/World:
One spring morning, Ben Hatke walked out his door and headed east, carrying a sketchbook and the audacious trust that if he journeyed long enough, the curve of the earth would bring him home again. What he met was a world more perilous and more generous than he ever imagined.
In Home/World, the Eisner Award–winning creator chronicles this circumnavigation through ink-and-watercolor pages that capture not just the sweep of continents but flickers of human encounters: a shared meal in a village, a moment of terror at a border crossing, the language of laughter breaking through babel. Hatke’s storytelling transforms the travel narrative into something urgent and immediate—a reckoning with our fractured yet resilient planet.
In an age when the world feels boundless and claustrophobic, Home/World offers not an escape, but a return. A return to wonder, to hope, to the possibility that strangers may prove kinder than we think, and to the belief that art may yet hold humanity together.
