Needle felting: a cozy craft where you can build any sculpture you like out of wool!
Join Maxx FG, crafter and creative director of Push/Pull, to learn the tools and tricks you need to know to get started in needle felting. Whether it's earrings, cat toys, or anything else you can dream up, you'll create a small object with a single color of wool and gain insights you need to continue creating after class.

Plus, as with all our classes, you'll get 15% off art supplies on the day of your class.
All materials are provided. This class uses sharp tools; we ask that attendees under 14 have a ticketed adult with them.

This is a FREE event, but requires registration—sign up here!

Qu-art is back!

This is a monthly meetup for queer artists and creators to join together to create. Bring a project or start a new one. Sketching materials are available, but you're encouraged to bring or purchase your own if you want to do something specific. Sparkling water is provided and you're welcome to bring refreshments. This is a sober event, so no alcohol or other intoxicating substances.

We'll meet on the second Monday and last Friday of every month from 6pm - 8pm.

This is a free event, but space is limited!

IMPORTANT: Qu-Art is now a mask-required event. Masks will be provided at the front desk if you haven't brought your own. Masks are still optional for in-store shoppers during the event.

Join us to learn how to screen print! You'll create your own 5" x 7" design using screen writing fluid and screen blocking fluid to paint on your art.

Start putting your art on patches, clothes, stickers and more. Class is 4 hours and includes one long and one short break for drying time. Once your screen is ready, you'll be able to print your design during the class time on paper or fabric. You're welcome to bring in your own small items to print. All materials and tools are provided and at the end you get to take your screen home to keep printing!
