One of the best ways to describe the downtown of Ellicottville has been as something Norman Rockwell would have conjured up. The New York Times says it is like being “transported to a scene from an old black and white Christmas movie.” As we start thinking of the Jolly Old Elf himself, why not come down to see what the fuss is all about the entire month!

Celebrate the Holiday Season with a Living Nativity, complete with a camel, all in the Village. Ellicottville's A Christmas Stroll was created in 1987 by a group of citizens who wanted to organize such an event in the village. After brainstorming over coffee, it was decided that they wanted a live nativity scene with children dressed as angels and shepherds, who walked around the village and met at the gazebo. There, the baby Jesus was presented and caroling presided. The tradition has continued on for the past 37 years.

Join Ellicottville Distillery for their annual Christmas Tree Bonfire on Saturday, January 17th! 

The doors open at 12 pm. Enjoy live music by Noah Lee from 5pm to 8pm, with the bonfire lighting at around 6 pm. 

Bring your used Christmas trees to add to the pile!

In this class, you will create a needle felted valentine themed garland using wool roving. The technique you will be using involves repeatedly poking a needle through the felt to compact the wool. You will be using heart-shaped cookie cutters to guide you in shaping the wool. You will then attach your hearts and beads onto the garland strand. The length of your finished garland will depend on how many hearts and beads you can make during the class time, and on how you choose to space them apart on the strand.

What’s included in this 2-part class:

Everything you need to make your own piece of stained glass. They'll have all kinds of glass to choose from, tools to cut and grind the glass into shape, copper foil for edges, solder and all the tools to apply it.

They will have several designs to choose from. 

You get to take home your stained glass piece at the end of the second day.

Please wear closed-toe shoes and be prepared to stand for most of the class.

**They need at least 4 signups to make the class happen, consider bringing a friend!**

Learn how to finger knit your very own ultra-soft chunky yarn blanket—no needles or experience required! In this hands-on class, you’ll work with six skeins of plush chenille yarn to create a beautiful 35” x 60” blanket that will be perfect during the colder months.

They’ll guide you step-by-step through the finger knitting process, teach you how to care for your finished piece, and help you relax and enjoy the meditative rhythm of working with your hands.

This Valentine’s Day Tri-County Arts Council will be having a Paper Flower Bouquet class! It’s a perfect activity to do with your girls, and the flowers you make you’ll be able to keep forever. You will create a bouquet consisting of 5 different types of paper flowers and 2 types of leaves. There will be a total of 15 flowers and 7 leaves. Flowers are made by cutting, folding, and gluing different shapes and colors of flowers together. You will need to supply your own small, sharp pointed scissors for accurate cutting of shapes for this class. 

This class welcomes all levels of watercolor experience—whether you’re a complete beginner or have been painting for years. Each session is tailored to meet individual skill levels, helping every student grow and refine their technique. You’ll choose from a selection of pre-drawn nature-themed outlines to paint, allowing you to focus on developing your watercolor skills without the pressure of drawing. All supplies are provided, and your finished artwork will be ready to frame in an 8” x 10” frame.
