Fee: $50 (includes all materials)

Join local artist Tiffany DeLaCruz in this hands-on headdress workshop at Newburgh Creates! Tiffany, a Beacon-based artist known for her one-of-a-kind wearable art, will guide you through the process of creating your very own unique headdress. Inspired by the beauty of nature and the whimsy of fantasy, her headdresses express the Divine Feminine and the creativity within us all.

In this step-by-step class, you’ll work with artificial flowers, fabric, and tools like hot glue guns to design a headdress that’s entirely your own. Whether you're new to crafting or experienced, this workshop will help you tap into your creative potential.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll not only leave with a beautiful headdress but also with skills that can be applied to future creative projects.
