Feather Tree Workshop

Instructor: Patti Erickson

Class Information

In this class, you will learn how to make a traditional German feather tree. The art of feather tree making started in Germany in the mid 1800’s. Each branch of the tree is wrapped with goose feathers to create a lovely Christmas tree that will last for generations. This is the perfect opportunity to make a family heirloom. Each student will take home a beautiful 18″ feather tree at the end of the class.

All materials included. Bring a lunch and your own scissors.
