This week: first open hours day + new workshops in Williamsburg 🌼
Tickets are live, secure your spot!
Hi friends,
We’re so excited to open our doors for the very first time for Open Hours at our new Williamsburg space this Saturday! We’d love to welcome you in, show you around, and share what we’ve been building. Come by, say hi, and make yourself at home.
As this community-focused open hours day is pay-as-you-wish, our art and clay library will be closed. We will have rotating activities with our open hour hosts and instructors, and free craft and collaging supplies to use. See you there!
Williamsburg workshops tickets are now on sale!
