Written in the Stars: A Constellation Ornament Workshop

Create a little piece of the night sky to take home! 

$20 per person | 30-minute workshop | All materials included

Join The Science Boutique at the SoWa Christmas Market for a festive, hands-on workshop where astronomy meets holiday creativity!

Choose from familiar winter constellations or the constellations of the zodiac, then bring your favorite star pattern to life on a glossy black ornament using metallic paint and sparkling rhinestones.

As you create, discover the science and stories behind the constellations, learn about the stars that make up these familiar patterns, and explore a little of the night sky with an astronomer.

You’ll leave with your own handmade celestial ornament — a beautiful addition to your Christmas tree or a thoughtful, personalized holiday gift.

No artistic experience or astronomy knowledge necessary! Just bring your curiosity and a little holiday spirit.

What’s Included

• One 3-inch constellation ornament to decorate and take home
• Your choice of winter or zodiac constellation designs
• Metallic paint pens and sparkling rhinestone embellishments
• All necessary crafting materials
• An introduction to the science and history of the constellations

Want to Make More Than One?

Can’t choose just one constellation? You don’t have to!

Your $20 workshop registration includes one ornament. Additional ornaments will be available to purchase at the workshop for $10 each, while supplies last.

Create your zodiac constellation, choose a favorite winter constellation, or make an extra ornament to give as a handmade holiday gift!
