Felted Holiday Cookies at Winterthur: Needle-Felting on Dec. 5
At Winterthur’s December workshop, the holiday cookie becomes a fiber-art motif: Charlese Phillips will guide participants in making two or three needle-felted creations.
A small-scale fiber project
Winterthur identifies Phillips as a fiber artist and says workshop materials are provided. The target—two or three cookie-inspired pieces—gives participants a defined project; the listing leaves the individual designs open.
Needle-felting is the named technique, but the event description does not lay out a step-by-step lesson. The confirmed scope is the guided making activity, its materials and its intended output.

A craft session paired with Holiday Nights
Registration includes admission to Winterthur’s Holiday Nights as well as the workshop materials. The event listing confirms that seasonal pairing but does not give a separate Holiday Nights itinerary, so the needle-felting project is the part of the evening described in detail.

Getting to Winterthur
Destination and driving
The event is listed at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, 5105 Kennett Pike (Route 52), Wilmington, DE 19807. Winterthur’s directions page places the site on Route 52, six miles northwest of Wilmington. From Philadelphia, its directions use I-95 South to exit 7B for Delaware Avenue/Route 52, then Route 52 North. The map links can calculate directions from your own starting point.
The event listing does not identify a workshop room or a specific event entrance. Contact Winterthur if you need to confirm where to check in or the route to the workshop.

Transit and parking
Winterthur reported that public bus service to the site was unavailable as of November 2024; check current options before relying on transit. Its access information places the Wilmington Amtrak station about seven miles away, approximately a 15-minute drive.
Winterthur lists designated parking spaces for vehicles with official permits next to the Visitor Center and near the Galleries Reception Area.

Accessible arrival
Winterthur describes the site as hilly, while noting that most public areas, historic buildings and walking paths are accessible. Loan wheelchairs and strollers are available at no cost at the Visitor Center and Galleries Reception Area; a companion is needed to push the loan wheelchairs.
The shuttle runs between the Visitor Center and museum building every 10 minutes from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It has a hydraulic lift and one wheelchair securement device. Because the workshop starts at 5:00 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m., confirm evening shuttle arrangements and the route to the event room with Winterthur rather than assuming service after 5.
