This is a quick one. We want to tell you about a class happening this weekend!! And we hope you’ll join us for an amazing concert coming up in April. Both events are at The Fábrica.
Don’t forget to stop by during our regular open hours to find supplies for your next project. We’ve gotten a lot of lovely donations recently, so there’s lots to choose from.

Join us for a hands-on eco-print workshop with Santa Cruz artist Hunter Wedaa.
Eco-printing is a natural dyeing technique where leaves, flowers, and plants are applied directly to fabric and processed to transfer their unique pigments and shapes, creating one-of-a-kind, lasting botanical imprints.
All materials provided. Donations encouraged. No one turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF).
