Art Shows & Banners & Schedule Changes

Hi friends! We’re here to remind you about some fun things happening this weekend and to let you know the shop will be closed this Saturday!

This quilt top was started a long time ago, when its owner was only ten years old. They recently dug it out of storage in hopes of finally finishing it.

July Art Show:

Practice

Friday, July 25, 2025
6 pm – 9 pm

@ The Fábrica, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

The Fábrica’s July Art Show features drawings by Harper and Maria. Join us for a reception (and activities!) Friday, July 25th, 6-9 PM at the Fábrica. There will be art supplies and objects to draw at the big table, as well as banner sewing outside in the courtyard.

“Maria and Harper started a simple daily drawing practice using everyday household objects — one item, a couple of minutes, with any paper or writing instrument that was around. Drawing soon became a practice of slowing down and looking at things with care. They’ve found it to be a helpful reminder of the power of seeing.”
