Craft Supply Swap: Donation Week

Clear out your studio's cubbies, drawers, and cupboards ahead of the swap.

Drop off your new or gently-used items from Monday to Friday during the week of April 7–11, before the April 16 swap. We will sort and arrange your donations into a fantastic second-hand craft supply extravaganza. Please note, no donations will be accepted on the swap day.

If you have a large donation, please make an appointment in advance so we can arrange for someone to help you unload your items.
