If you're in need of a supply refresh or simply want to get rid of materials you no longer need, then join us for Art Supply Swap on Saturday October 5th from 12pm - 3pm. One artist's trash is another artist's inspiration, and you never know what magical tool or material you may find.
Note: Please be sure to check the list below to see what items are acceptable for swapping.
There will also be another edition of our Mending Society event at the same time! Join us for a fun and educational session on mending techniques! Whether you have a hole that needs patching or a button that needs to be replaced, this event is perfect for repairing your well-worn garments and textiles.
Bring along a few items of clothing that you want to fix, and we'll guide you through the process of mending them. Don't miss this opportunity to learn valuable skills and breathe new life into your favorite garments!
This is a free event, registration is requested but not required. Drop in for a little bit or hang out with us for the whole afternoon!
