Inspired by the intricate bas-relief needlework and cozy scenes featured in My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World, our newest Together workshop series, Felt Together, explores the art of needle felting. The series is led by Sophie Ancel, a fiber artist who blends rich textures and thoughtful layering to bring imaginative landscapes to life. Through her process-driven approach to wool and textile art, she brings a warm, accessible perspective to the world of living craft.
Friday, November 6, 2026 | 5-7pm In November, create a night sky scene out of wool. Sophie will teach you how to layer and mix colorful fibers to build a cozy scene with glowing windows, trees, and stars.
The Together series at Mingei invites makers of all skill levels to come together and create in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Past iterations—Sew Together, Weave Together, Dye Together, Stitch Together, Clay Together, and Knot Together—explore a variety of craft techniques while emphasizing collaboration, experimentation, and hands-on learning. Each workshop encourages participants to connect with materials, try new skills, and enjoy the process of making together.
