New York City Needle Felting Adventure

Field trips aren't just for kids! BonnaH Co Fiber Arts is here to help you eperience the sheer joy of a grown-up field trip in the heart of New York City. We've done the research and there's nothing like it! Bonnie and Hannah combine the vibrancy of New York City and the history of the flower factory (we'll get a private tour!) with a relaxed Italian lunch, some shopping, and crafting together where you’ll make your own needle-felted flower accessories. We provide all supplies and instruction so you can just show up and have fun! Expect a relaxed pace, about 12–14k steps total, with plenty of breaks. This adults-only outing is proof that field trips aren’t just for kids—it’s a day of creativity, discovery, and connection.
