About this Event
---------------------------
Get a head start on holiday gift planning, and come spend an evening making, swapping, and celebrating the things we create with our own two hands!
For this Glowfish gathering, each person will need to bring nine small handmade gifts to share with the group. Throughout the evening, we'll take turns choosing gifts, and by the end, you'll leave with nine creations made by other people!
Your gifts can be anything you enjoy making: mini prints, small ceramics, sewn or crocheted pieces, jewelry, candles, handmade cards, tiny paintings—or homemade treats like bread, baked goods, infused butters, jams, syrups, spice blends, or something wonderfully unexpected. They can all be the same or each be different, and they don't need to be elaborate or perfect. Small, thoughtful, and made by you is the whole idea!
If you're bringing something edible, please package it individually and include a list of ingredients and any common allergens so everyone can swap safely.
Between rounds of swapping, we'll make festive felt sprigs and ornaments! Cut out and combine and mixture of colorful felt leaves, berries, bows, and other playful details to create your own little holiday decorations. Give them as gifts, or hang them around your home and keep them for yourself!
There will be plenty of time to create, admire everyone's handiwork, meet some new people, and enjoy the very satisfying experience of leaving with an assortment of handmade treasures to keep or give away.
Your ticket includes:
- All materials to make your own assortment of felt holiday sprigs and ornaments
- Nine handmade gifts from fellow participants
- A $10 voucher to use toward food and drinks at Brave Neighbor
- A cozy evening of creating and connecting!
What you'll need to bring:
- Nine (unwrapped) handmade items that are ready to swap
