Petit Troll Workshops

All Petit Troll workshops will take place at the Powerhouse, located at 3940 Fremont Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103.

At our Petit Troll workshops you’ll transform a toy truck into a mini Mardi Gras-style float using our treasure trove of baubles, goo-gahs, and plenty of hot glue! Don’t have a toy truck? No problem– we’ll have a few available to use, but bringing your own is encouraged. 

We’ll also be decorating umbrellas in the festive second line style for the parade! We’ll have some umbrellas on hand, but if you have an old umbrella you’re ready to retire, bring it along to turn it into a parade-worth masterpiece. 

The workshops are a great way to connect with neighbors, have fun, and get your hands dirty while creating something special. Children must be accompanied by an attentive adult.
