Make Holiday Globe Ornaments and Cuddle Farm Animals in Dresher, PA

On a crisp winter afternoon in Dresher, Pennsylvania, the upstairs Kitten Cafe Loft at 1314 N Limekiln Pike becomes a warm workshop where craft, scent and barnyard charm meet. Winter Wonderland Globe Ornaments is a hands-on, ninety-minute experience that guides you through making two glass globe ornaments filled with feathers, dried seasonal flowers and berries, then teaches you to pour a custom-scented candle using organic essential oils — clove, cinnamon, pine and fir — so your holidays smell as deliberate as they look. The setting is as much a draw as the craft. After your creations cure, you’ll head downstairs to meet the farm’s resident goats, piglets, sheep and kittens for gentle cuddle time, an element that separates this event from a typical studio class. Fresh lavender and other farm-grown botanicals figure into the projects, offering a local, tactile connection to the landscape. Small groups (maximum 16) keep the vibe intimate; the complimentary beverage bar — plus BYOB permission — makes it an easy date-night or friend outing during the holiday season. What makes this workshop special for the Dresher outdoor recreation area is its blending of indoor craft with farm ecology. The program highlights living animals and seasonal botanicals rather than mass-produced decorations, so participants leave with artisan keepsakes and a clearer idea of local agrarian life. The mix of materials—glass globes, preserved flora, feathers—and the scent-blending portion is a sensory lesson in natural aromatics and simple chemistry. Practical details: check in 15 minutes early at 1314 N Limekiln Pike, Dresher, PA; sessions run roughly 1.5 hours and require the ability to climb one flight of stairs. Group size is limited to 16. Owner/operator information: missing. This event welcomes beginners; no prior crafting or candle-making skills are required. Plan to arrive with layers—the loft can be warmer while the barn is cooler—and wear clothes you don’t mind a little glue or wax on. The class is also a quiet, restorative alternative for visitors who want animal interaction without a long hike or farm work. It’s particularly well suited for travelers seeking a low-impact, hands-on local experience that ties holiday making to local flora and animal care. Bookers leave with two personalized ornaments, a custom candle, photos, and the kind of relaxed, animal-filled memory that stretches beyond a typical souvenir. For a short, sensory-rich escape from winter routines, this workshop makes Dresher feel delightfully close to the farm. Ideal for families, couples and solo travelers alike, the workshop doubles as a small-group holiday activity and a low-stress way to learn simple craft techniques. Reserve early during December weekends, as sessions often sell out; the program’s 16-person cap and seasonal materials mean popular dates fill fast. Bring a camera for photos.
