OK! HERE WE GO! OPEN!

Posted by Erin Boniferro on

I'm delighted welcome you back to your favorite local art studio and shop.

It's going to feel a bit strange at first, to not sit at the table and make things together; but I'm confident that we can slowly build towards that again. You'll see all the directives in store about how to best be in the shop for now. While Open Studio and Drop In Classes are still on pause for now, we've been working hard on new kits, classes and virtual alternatives for you. I loved seeing what you made in Virtual Mini Make - we now have 10 classes to choose from and will continue to make more.

MOST EXCITING - SUMMER CAMP CRAFTERNOONS are back! Camps will be 6 kids MAX, 6-10yrs old, and they'll be taking place just out the back of the store under some decorated tents we think you're going to love. You can register now to secure your spot and learn more about how we plan to do things. Virtual Version Lunches July 6th!

I couldn't have asked for a more supportive, kind and patient group of people to call my small business community. You've made a massive difference in your actions, and I am grateful for your orders, messages, and pictures of your craft efforts at home. These are the times that art truly brings us together while apart, and I continue to be inspired to find ways to safely and joyfully proceed into these new times with you.

See you soon,
Erin
