Art and Craft Supply Swap at Market Affair

We regret to inform you that we must cancel the upcoming Art & Craft Supply Swap due to a death in the family, which requires us to travel out of town. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and deeply appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.

Rest assured, the Art & Craft Supply Swap will be rescheduled for a later date, and we will keep you informed of the new date as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we are still hosting plenty of fun craft parties, and we would love to see you at one of our upcoming events. Please join our mailing list to receive notifications about this and other events. Thank you for your support and patience.

We had so much fun at the last one that we are doing it again!

Did you fall in love with crochet (or resin or painting or jewelry or....), only to give up on it after a week? Have a pile of unused supplies gathering dust? It's time to breathe new life into your crafting journey! Join us at our Art & Craft Supply Swap, where you can trade those neglected supplies for something that sparks your creativity once again. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this event promises a treasure trove of possibilities for all. Let's turn those forgotten supplies into fresh inspiration together!

Join us for a day of treasure hunting and swapping, where you can exchange your unwanted supplies for new inspirations. Discover a wide array of crafting materials, from yarn and beads to paints and fabrics. Don't miss this opportunity to declutter your craft room and find exciting new additions for your creative projects. Mark your calendars and join us for a fun-filled day of crafting community and resourceful recycling!

HERE'S HOW IT WILL WORK

Drop-off: Friday, August 2 10am - 6pm

• Bring your unwanted supplies to contribute. (See list below for acceptable items.) Please note that you do not need to contribute items to participate in the swap.
• Please make sure items are clean of dirt, dust, pet hair, etc.
• Our team will sort everything for you.

Swap Hours: Sunday, August 4 2pm-6pm

All items are included in the price of admission! If items are left over at the end of the swap, you may reclaim your contributions. Everything else will be donated, used in a future craft party or saved for a future swap.

Please remember:

• Respect others: No pushing or taking items out of people's hands.
• Take only what you need: Don't be greedy.
