Craft Swap

If you have good quality craft supplies that you no longer need or want, or if you're interested in trying something new without a big upfront investment, come to our craft swap!

Donations accepted Friday, April 12th until 4pm or the following day during the swap. If you decide to bring your items on Saturday, please plan to attend right when the swap begins at 2:30 to provide the best selection.

You do not need to donate in order to come on Saturday, but there will be more variety if lots of folks donate!

Donation guidelines:

Homeschool Paint Class at Derry Public Library

Join us at the Derry Public Library for a step by step painting activity led by Antonia Catanzariti of Paint It Out.  She will be doing a spring painting (most likely an Easter bunny).  The class should run about an hour to ninety minutes.

For children ages 6-12.

Registration required.  Now open.

(Paint It Out is a local paint entertainment business located in Derry, New Hampshire.  Currently without a studio, look for us doing our paint nights in nearby coffee shops, bars, and rental rooms!  Private parties also available.)

Tinkergarten: Tiny Universe--Gnomes!

Tinkergarten is an outdoor play based class and this year our forest gnomes will be sharing their universe with us!  Kids will discover how their gnome friends like to play while engaging in a variety of STEM stations.  As always, your child will lead the play and discover a world of zooming, tottering, and so much more!  This group will be led by local Tinkergarten instructor, Elizabeth Dickerson.

Ages 18 months through 8 years with caregiver.  Registration required and will open on July 16th.
