December is the month of gift-giving. It's cold and we all need something to warm up our hearts and hands. For this Christmas season we are featuring a craft swap with local artists. If you have never been to a craft show or you've done the professional circuit for 10 years, you both are welcome. We will be setting up 1/2 tables for local artists to come for the evening and show their work while we feature traditional holiday merriment such as warm cider, baked cookies, homemade cards, and a number of Swedish seasonal crafts.

If you would like to try your hand, we have a number of demo tables. All the local artists have donated the supplies to allow some free events as follows in the Kitchen.


6-7 pm: Paint Your Own Pine Cone Ornaments: Learn how to brighten up your table with festive handpainted pine cones. Shannon Talton will be leading the demonstration. A big thanks to Katie Bashaw for picking up all the pine cones for us to use for this event. Location: Kitchen, Cost: Free
7-8 pm: Custom Wood and Leather Ornaments: Create turned and laser wood ornaments into works of art. Shannon Talton will be leading the demonstration. A big thanks to Mark Plaga for his wood donation for the laser. Location: Kitchen, Cost: $1 per ornament recommended.
8-9 pm: Sewing Custom Santa Stockings: Create fun custom Santa Stockings to hang up by the fireplace this year. Shannon Talton will be leading the demonstration. A big thanks to Etsy for the fabric donation. Location: Kitchen, Cost: Free


As always, free and open to the public.
