Making Together: Gingerbread Houses at AMFA Is Sold Out for Nov. 15
The gingerbread house planned for AMFA’s Nov. 15 Making Together workshop is meant to be sculpted, not baked. The family art session is marked sold out.
A stage story becomes a clay project
The workshop brings a seasonal story into the studio through a shared making activity: an adult and child shape a gingerbread house from clay, then decorate it as a keepsake. It is not an edible gingerbread-house session.
AMFA connects the project to Gingerbread Man: The Untold Story, its original Children’s Theatre production. That gives the craft a specific link to the museum’s own family programming; the announced activity is making, not a performance.

The series moves from clay houses to fiber and weaving
The Nov. 28 Making Together session repeats the clay gingerbread-house project, running from 1–4 p.m.; AMFA also marks that date sold out. It is a separate session, not a different-material version of the Nov. 15 workshop.
The Nov. 22 session, Making Together: Felted Ornaments, is scheduled for 1–4 p.m. Participants are to learn needle-felting basics and form colorful wool into ornaments. AMFA ties the activity to textiles, materials and handmade works in its galleries.
A shorter session on Dec. 5 shifts to polymer clay. The Making Together series listing identifies Colorful Clay Ornaments from 10 a.m. to noon and marks that date sold out.
On Dec. 13, Making Together: Winter Weaving returns to a 1–4 p.m. session. Participants use colorful yarn and a simple loom to layer fibers into a small-scale winter-inspired weaving to take home. The project draws on textures, patterns and fiber artworks in the galleries.
The Nov. 22, Nov. 28 and Dec. 13 event pages list admission at $75, or $60 for members, for one adult and one child age 8 or older. The Dec. 5 series entry does not give a price. Check AMFA’s current listings before planning around another date; the Nov. 22 and Dec. 13 pages display registration options, not a guarantee of current availability.

One collaborative clay project
The Nov. 15 session is a single family workshop, not a multi-act program: an adult and child were scheduled to sculpt and decorate clay houses inspired by AMFA’s original Children’s Theatre production, Gingerbread Man: The Untold Story.
