Hillsboro Art Walk Craft Supply Swap at The Downtown Hive

Join us during June's Tuesday Art Walk to swap out your old and neglected craft supplies for things you really want! Just like a clothing, seed, or plant swap, we are opening our doors for all of the extra craft supplies you collect over the years that you just can't seem to find a use for. As well as getting some new supplies to craft with, you will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with other community members in Hillsboro who love crafting as much as you do, hopefully inspiring you to make connections with our like-minded neighbors and maybe even inspiring you to create something new! Refreshments will be provided by Oregon Flower Tea and live music with Mick Schafer and JC Clark.  The Friends of the Library Book Sale will also be open for Art Walk as well!

What to bring:

It is helpful for you to bring your items organized by type, because when you arrive you will be asked to lay out your goods with like materials. Randoms can be arranged into smaller grab-bags. 

You can bring any crafting item from yarn, fabric, and embroidery thread to gently used paints, markers, paper, clay, and anything else you can think of! (Find items we are not excepting at the bottom of this post.)

What will be provided: 

Labels and markers, small envelopes and bags, and friendly faces on our wonderful crafting friends!
