TATTED SNOWFLAKES

Come join in the fun of making tatted snowflakes. They can be 2 or 3-dimensional, or embellished with beads.

Each student will receive instructions with several snowflake patterns, a tatting needle, a ball of thread, and access to different types of beads to adorn their creation. New and experienced tatters welcome! The workshop is held in the Landis Valley Museum Store 2nd Floor Classroom – there is one flight of stairs. Saturday November 8 2025 9 AM – 4 PM. All sales are final, no refunds. Proceeds benefit the Museum.

Karen Wattai has been a fiber enthusiast for as long as she can remember and has always enjoyed needlework and crafting with her mother and grandmothers, as well as designing pieces. She taught herself tatting about 30 years ago and finds it so fascinating – what can be done with those knots.
