Public Arts ProgramsBASE: Create & Sip – Get Hooked On Yarn!
As you craft away, enjoy the company of fellow art enthusiasts in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere while listening to a craft-themed musical soundtrack. Feel free to bring your favorite beverage (alcohol is allowed for those 21 and up) and some snacks to enjoy as you immerse yourself in the creative process. At the end of the class, you’ll leave with your own handmade yarn crafts! Plus, you’ll take home newfound skills and inspiration to continue your crafting journey beyond the class.
We will be using materials and supplies from BASE (the Brushwood Art Supply Exchange) that will include a mix of new materials alongside the repurposed and reimagined. Everyone’s project will be unique, and creativity is highly encouraged. We will have a variety of objects available to use, but if you have something of your own you would like to bring and try to incorporate into your artwork, you are welcome to bring it!
Create & Sip classes are fun, easy going events. Bring some friends, some snacks and bring your imagination! No Experience necessary, all skill levels welcome. Each person’s project will be unique – creativity is highly encouraged! We will be working with materials and tools from BASE, our Creative Reuse Center, which will include a combination of reclaimed, repurposed, and new materials.
