Goth Social Night is an opportunity to gather with other like-minded, alternative folks for social activities other than dancing or live music.
We’ve created spaces for a variety of activities, all in one venue.
Witch and Stitch – an alternative arts and crafts gathering where you can meet and hang out with other artists and artisans. Bring a current project that is non-messy/non-smelly, packs up easily, and does not require a hydro connection. Or just bring a sketch pad and draw. All skill levels welcome.
Location: Main Room alcove
Time: 7pm – 10pm
Art & Craft Supply Swap – we’ve rolled our popular art and craft supply swap into this event. Bring any usable art/craft supplies in good condition that you no longer want/need. We’ll have a table available at the craft club for people to leave some stuff or take some stuff.
Location: Main Room alcove
Time: 7pm – 10pm
Cookie Decorating – Decorate your own holiday cookies with Shannon from Sheileen’s Sweet Salutations. Participants will get 6 of Sheileen’s scrumptious sugar cookies and a variety of frostings and decorations to create your own bespoke cookies. Classes will be limited in number — sign up at the door when you arrive.
