Pick A Project Craft Swap
The Pick A Project part of the swap will take place from June 2 to June 12; Those who donated materials will receive an invitation to attend an opening night launch!
If I don't donate, can I still come?
Yes! Everyone is welcome to participate in any stage of the swap that they would like.
How much can I take?
We encourage folks to take thoughtfully and consider what is needed for their crafting, what they may have at home, and to think about those coming after. Once we have a better idea of what is available, we may impose a one project per person limit!
I do craft programming for a local organization, am I allowed to come?
Our intention is to encourage accessible creativity for individuals, but we are looking for partners who may be interested in the remaining supplies (if possible)! Please contact us at: events@trainyardstore.com for further information!
