Women's Art Party
Third Wednesday of the Month
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Lind Pavilion
411 Commerce St.
Mineral Point
From March to November, women gather in the Lind Pavilion for creative camaraderie. Newcomers are always welcome. Each month a new project is planned and announced. Participants and/or local artists take turns leading Women’s Art Party projects, introducing new materials and sharing techniques. There’s no need to bring anything but yourself, as all necessary supplies will be waiting when you arrive. If you’d prefer to work on something other than the monthly project, bring your own project and work at anything you’d like. This is a friendly group. Come try it out. Make crafts. Make friends. Make crafts with friends!
Project fee: $5. Additional materials fee may apply.

Details on upcoming Women’s Art Party projects available as they develop.
Make unusual jewelry with metal teeth zippers. A long time ago, Mineral Point artist Cheryl Smeja made leather handbags and has boxes of zippers left over that she is happy to share. Most of them are dark colors — black, brown, and gray. You’re welcome to bring your own colored zippers. Metal teeth look the best, but nylon teeth might be fun too.
Provided: Zippers; ribbon for foundations; ribbon bracelet findings; pin backs; leather scraps; hot glue, glue guns, and scissors to share.
Please bring: Sewing needles and thread; buttons and beads if you like.
Gather safely in the Lind Pavilion, 411 Commerce St., at 6:30-8:30 pm Wednesday, June 16.
Workshop is limited to 12 participants. Masks are required indoors.
