In a small village in Mexico, where smiles are all people have to give, generosity isn’t measured in wealth—it’s measured in community.
Inspired by his mother’s birthplace and a mythical story of kindness, artist and performer Blake Hobson-Dimas invites you to take part in The Little Friend Factory, a drop-in workshop that transforms simple materials into something meaningful. During this two-hour drop-in event, participants will craft a Little Friend—a small, handmade puppet meant to bring joy and comfort to someone who needs it. Once completed, each Little Friend will be placed on The Tree of Friendship, where they will wait to be taken by someone who could use a reminder that they are not alone.
This workshop isn’t just about making puppets—it’s about creating a tangible act of kindness, inspired by a culture where generosity thrives in the face of hardship. Drop in anytime, create, and be part of a heartfelt tradition that turns small gestures into lasting connections.
