Our extended summer hours were so popular they are now permanent! Artistic Artifacts is hosting Open Stitch sessions on the first and third Thursday evenings from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. This is a drop-in, bring your own hand stitching project and the necessary supplies (or you can knit, crochet... whatever needle arts you like). There’s no fee to attend, no instruction nor agenda — just a time to spend with other creatives!
