Make your own mini retro Christmas village out of cardboard. You’ll paint, glitter, and assemble 4 different house designs, each with cut-out windows that create a warm glow when illuminated from inside.
A little history: “Putz” comes from the German word putzen, which means “to decorate.” German-speaking families in America brought the tradition with them and set up detailed miniature village scenes for Christmas. The small glowing cardboard houses became a holiday classic, and they still feel cozy and nostalgic today.
You’ll take home your own set of houses for a mantel, a shelf, or under the tree. It’s a good start on a village you can add to each year.
All materials are provided for making your houses: cardboard house kits, paint, and glitter. Battery-operated tea lights aren’t included, so pick up a few at home to light up your village.
Join us on Saturday, December 19th from 1 - 3:30PM at THE EXCHANGE 617 Marin Street in Old Town Vallejo.
As always space is limited and we tend to sell out so sign up early before all seats are gone. Sign up by December 12th and snag the $50 early-bird rate - future you will thank present you.
Please understand that buying a ticket to an event or workshop is no different than buying a concert, theater, or movie ticket and we are unable to offer refunds. You are of course always welcome to gift your seat to a friend if you cannot make it!
