"Wood" Cookie Decorating Learn how wood cookies are part of the Caldera story and show off your cookie decorating skills and then when all is said and done, eat a cookie. "Wood" cookies and icing will be provided.

‍Coloring Wall Were you told never to color on a wall? Well, at Hearth Festival, we want you too. Thanks to Wieden+Kennedy for sponsoring this maker station. Come join us and draw away.

Zine Making Design and assemble your very own zine- a handmade booklet filled with anything you want such as drawings, poetry, etc. Led by our very own Cloud.

Jewelry Making Craft your own jewelry—bracelets, necklaces, or charms using colorful beads and unique designs. Make one for yourself or for your friends!

Ice Sculpting A demonstration and teaching of how to use ice as the only material for making sculptures. Led by Nina, they will demonstrate how to sculpt, carve, and chisel a block of ice into something mesmerizing.

…And More To Come!
