Limited swap spaces available. Join us for our Monthly Maker Swap Social, a relaxed community gathering for crafters, makers, and creative souls to connect, share supplies, and give unused materials a new home. Each month will feature a different craft theme, such as fiber arts, beading and jewelry making, resin, soap, bath crafts, and more. Bring craft supplies you no longer use, browse what others have brought, and swap with fellow makers. This is a wonderful way to clear out your craft stash, discover something new, meet other local creatives, and keep usable supplies out of storage bins and landfills. All swap items must be clean, usable, and craft-related. Please bring only items that fit the monthly theme, see below for dates and theme Anything not swapped must go home with the person who brought it. Please ensure all items are clean, from a non-smoking environment, in a container or bag, as organized as you can get it. Items need to be in conditions they can be used. Suggested items to bring may include: Yarn, cord, thread, macrame supplies, beads, findings, charms, wire, tools, molds, packaging, craft books, unfinished project supplies, and other theme-appropriate materials.
