Our December Calendar is Live!

December events, holiday hours, and more!

Hi friend!

Zoe clocking in here! Some of you may know me as the host always munching on cookies during Writers’ Tea Parties or losing constantly on Saturday game nights (I will win one day), but I’ll also be writing our newsletters going forward. I am ecstatic to e-meet you all and share all the goodies we have in-store for December! One of which is the official launch of our blog—The Cozy Corner! Make sure to stay tuned for that email 🤭

With December almost here, we’ll soon be welcoming in 2025 and Drawing Room’s first anniversary! Can you believe it?! We want to thank you all for this unbelievably magical year. We could not have made it this far without the warmth and love the community has received us with. As the year closes out, we hope Drawing Room continues to be a cozy, safe space—especially with the added cheer and magic of our holiday programming!

Main highlights

Have you heard about our Cohort Program? Design a flexible schedule of 8 different classes over 2 months with a group of others who also want to learn new things and connect with new people. The theme for the year ahead is transformations and our winter cohort is already filling up! Grab your spot fast to try a variety of new mediums (think clay, paint, textiles, writing), make friends, attend exclusive gatherings, and more!

In an effort to give back to the community and provide warmth to those in need during the upcoming winter season, Drawing Room has organized a Community Coat Drive! Drop off new or gently used coats at our donation box in the entryway during open hours. You’ll receive a special stamp for your donation! (Limited to max one stamp per week)

Knit & Purl: Holiday Garlands - Sun, Dec 8 at 9am-11:30am

In this edition of Knit & Purl, we're making knit garlands! Garlands can be a festive addition to any part of your home - an entryway, a tree, a mantle, over your bed, on a wall...

​We'll learn to knit (& purl) garlands of around 4-6 feet, then adorn them with 5 charms of your choosing and poms!! If you've been to a Charm Meet, this is a hybrid event because you'll get to spend some time sifting through our ever-updating selection of charms!! How festive!

Community Showcase: Holiday Market + Party - Tues, Dec 17 at 7-10pm

​A holiday market and holiday party! Come by and celebrate our talented creative community, supporting them with purchases! A perfect time to grab those last minute gifts and have some holiday fun.

And, our regulars are also on the calendar for December with a holiday twist!
