CRAFTY HAPPENING: Soft City at WinterCity (January 31, February 1, 7 & 8)

The Soft City will be exhibited and workshops will be held at City Hall this weekend and next.

The WinterCity Festival is a city-wide celebration of Toronto's incomparable diversity of spirit bursting with culinary experiences, a hot blaze of free entertainment and a showcase of this city's vibrant arts scene.

WinterCity: A Celebration of Culture, Creativity and Cuisine runs from January 30 to February 12, 2009.

The Soft City installation will be on display all day in the Toronto City Hall Rotunda both weekends.

There will also be Soft City workshops in the Toronto City Hall Rotunda on Saturdays (Jan 31 & Feb 7) from 2 – 7 pm and Sundays (Feb 1 & 8) from 2 – 6 pm. This is an opportunity to discover Soft City, a whimsical plush mini Toronto created by hand with felt, fabric, stuffing and your imagination. Kids can join in workshops to make their own mini creations to take home or add them to the growing cozy, architectural wonder. Try your hand at creating mini city blueprints, or send your friend a postcard from the Soft City.
