At the behest of so many of you, we’ve embarked on a new adventure here at Hodgepodge.
We‘re inviting you to join us for “how to” workshops. We will be hosting creative get-togethers in our second floor space (formerly ARTifacts). These workshops will cultivate your creative skills and stimulate your live-in-person social networking moxie at the same time. For these events we will provide the necessary supplies to complete the project; participants are welcome to bring refreshments for their own enjoyment or to share (good manners are appreciated).
Private workshops and group discounts are available, please contact Paige, Kimberly or Kendall for more information.
