Donations!
Many of you have asked and we are ready to accept donations of art and craft supplies and the time has come. We are accepting donations but only during Sunday CrafterNoon hours: 11:00–4:00PM. Stop by the Rose Street Center, 115 East Rose Street Owaotnna, we'll be in the Community Room! If its a bag or 2 bring it on in. We do have a cart and elevator available if you need it. If its a car load, stop in and I'll direct you to the loading dock to un-load there. We'll weigh donations and as a 501(c)3 we can provide a donation receipt if you'd like!
Here is a link to our donations page on what we will and will not accept:
Sunday CrafterNoons at Rose Street
Need to get out of the house just for a bit and be around other creatives? Come to the Rose Street Center, bring your own project, a snack, and take some time for yourself to create! The Apothecary isn't open yet so we don't have our full offering of supplies and tools to start out with but we wanted to start coming together and creating! Register at the links below to reserve your spot, pay in person ($5 fee).
Small Sneak Peek!
A First Look at the Space
We were able to get a little bit of painting done and start styling the space using donated materials—giving you a small glimpse of what The Craft Apothecary will look like when it’s full of creativity.
