From the young to the merely young-at-heart, who can resist a soft, fuzzy plush toy friend?

Whether you prefer cuddly and cute or strange and fantastical, Magic Pony is pleased to offer an entirely original workshop experience that lets you realize your very own plush creation!

Led by the acclaimed toy designers Monster Factory, each day of our four-day program explores the creation of plush toys from concept to construction, character, narrative development and world. Set within Magic Pony, Toronto's premiere space for young contemporary art, attendees will create and sew their own original, plush companion to bring home.
