Hi, I’m Delilah Iris! I am a professional mixed media and felt artist, designer, and author of Tiny Felt Cuties and Creatures. With over 20 years of experience in the creative and design industries, my absolute passion is heritage crafts, hand-stitching, and sharing the restorative joy of making things by hand.
I believe that crafting together is one of the best ways to build community, spark imagination, and take a refreshing break from the digital world. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, planning a unique gathering, or just want to gather a group of friends to learn a new skill, I am here to help you host an unforgettable, creative experience!
Where the Magic Happens: Location Options
I want to make your creative gathering as easy and comfortable as possible. We have two wonderful options for where to host your workshop or party:
- I Can Travel to You: Want to host a party in the comfort of your own living room, backyard, a rented venue, or a community space? I will pack up all the specialized tools, beautiful materials, and creative inspiration, and bring the entire workshop experience directly to your doorstep.
- Visit Me at Little Moss Creative Center: I am incredibly excited to share that I am opening my very own dedicated retail studio and creative space! Pending our grand opening, you will soon be able to book your private parties and workshops right here in our cozy, inspiring workshop space. Stay tuned for our official opening date!
Choose Your Creative Adventure
Every party and workshop includes all necessary materials, step-by-step guidance, and a supportive, relaxed environment where everyone can create something they are proud of. Here are the core themes we can explore together:
🧵 Whimsical Felt Stitching Parties
Dive into the cozy world of analog crafting! In these workshops, I will guide your group through the meditative, joyful process of hand-stitching. Together, we will use premium wool felt and simple stitching and embroidery techniques to create adorable, pocket-sized woodland creatures, whimsical felt animals, dolls or custom decor or functional felt art. This is perfect for a relaxing, slow-crafting afternoon with friends.
🎨 Custom Painting & Pet Portraits
Unleash your inner artist with a fun, guided paint party! We can choose a beautiful, imaginative theme for the whole group to paint together, or we can tackle something extra special: Pet Portraits. For pet portrait parties, guests send in a photo of their favorite furry friend ahead of time, and I will help guide everyone through capturing their pet’s unique personality on canvas. No prior painting experience required!
🖌️ Paint-Your-Own Ceramics
Perfect for birthday parties and makers of all ages! I will bring a wonderful selection of ready-to-paint ceramic pieces. Your guests will get to choose their favorite figure and use a vibrant palette of paints to bring their ceramics to life. It’s an engaging, tactile, and incredibly fun activity that leaves everyone with a unique keepsake to take home.
