Do you have art supplies, sewing materials, coloring books, journals, puzzles, etc. that you're not using and would like to pass on to others?Are you looking for a new project or source of inspiration for spring?
Join us for a community exchange - everything is free!
*******
How does the exchange work?
- Gather items that you'd like to donate to other community members (see below for suggestions). They must be in good condition and either new or gently used.
- Bring these items with you on 4/11 or drop them off at the designated times.
- Come to the event and take home anything that inspires you. Bring a bag!
- You don't have to bring something to participate.
- If you do bring something, there's no expectation that you take something as well.
*******
What does “creativity” mean for this event?
Anything that can be used to create or inspire! If it's something that sparks creativity (for you or someone else), bring it!
That being said, here are a few guidelines so that everyone knows what to expect.
Suggested items:
- Art supplies (paint, markers, pencils, canvas, paper, polymer clay, etc.)
- Beads and jewelry making supplies
- Coloring books
- Fabric or fabric scraps
- Sewing, embroidery, knitting, or crochet materials
- Stamps and ink pads
- Stickers and scrapbooking supplies
- Tools (brushes, scissors, crochet hooks, cutting mats, etc.)
- Journals
- Puzzles
- If you're not sure... just bring it!
Please do not bring:
- Books that aren't about crafting or hobbies (Bring these instead to the NH Book Swap in April.)
- Combustible, hazardous, or dangerous items
- Heavily used items that you wouldn’t pick up yourself
- Items that one person wouldn't be able to carry by themselves
*******
How to bring items to be swapped:
- Drop them off at Commune à Tea on 4/9 or 4/10 between 5pm and 7pm.
- Bring them to the event on 4/11 from 11:30am - 2pm.
- Email Shiella ([email protected]) to arrange a different time.
*******
In the spirit of a community exchange, please do not take items with the intention of selling them after the event. This swap is meant as an opportunity for people to declutter while sustainably sharing resources.
Anything left over after the swap will be donated to local thrift stores and DIY Craft & Thrift in Concord, NH.
