About this event

We're excited to host another of our recurring Arts and Crafts Supply Swaps - for sharing the joy of creativity! No registration required; all ages welcome. No need to bring something to take something.

Upon entering, find the labeled tables for different craft categories. Sort and place your contributions on the respective tables. Let's keep it organized and easy for everyone.

Accepted items: clean, gently used arts and crafts materials that you're willing to share, including:

Art books or magazines (instructional and/or content for creative inspiration)

Sketchbooks, drawing pads, notebooks and stationery

Textiles (yarn, felt, fabric)

Sewing materials (needles, thread, embroidery looms, buttons)

Writing and drawing utensils (colored pencils, charcoal, pastels, markers)

Canvas fabric or stretched canvases

Frames and mats

Paint brushes

Tubes and Bottles of paint (watercolor, tempera, acrylic, oil, etc.)

Easels

Jewelry making tools and supplies

Stringing & beading: beads, fishing line, thread

Paper (stationery, homemade paper, origami)

Fun to have: pom poms, pipe cleaners

Leave these items at home:

Broken, crusty or dried out materials

Massive objects that won't fit in a sedan

Super smelly smells including solvents or toxic chemicals

Gallons of Paint

Computers, printers, cameras, A/V equipment, other electronics

Tools and related hardware: Hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, bolts, nails etc….

Lumber, wood or random loose boards

(When in doubt: Would I give this to my best friend?)

**We are also collecting gift wrap supplies at the swap to be part of our free gift wrapping station later this year. Please donate new or gently used gift bags, ribbon, tissue paper, and wrapping paper.**
