SPRING SUPPLY SWAP

Saturday, May 3rd 10am-2pm

SPRING CLEAN UP TIME!

There’s no such thing as having too many art supplies! However, if you’ve decided to do a bit of spring cleaning, we have some cool news for you! Howard’s will be hosting a Spring Art Supply Yard Sale/Exchange/Giveaway/Swap/Whatever Else You Want to Call It! You will be able to sell your supplies, trade with other participants, or simply give your unwanted art materials away! It is totally up to you! Note that there are about 25 spaces available, so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible.

Think of this as a community yard sale. Everyone is responsible for their own sales or exchanges and will be required to bring their own table. This swap is restricted to art & craft supplies/equipment only. The exchange will take place indoors and outdoors to maximize space. There will be limited space, so we require everyone to stick to a 4 foot table.

This swap is open to everyone! If you are only interested in purchasing materials and don’t have anything to sell, you don’t need to sign up! Just show up and join in on the fun!

We are hoping to have a food truck, but if not we will have snacks and drinks!

Please contact us for more details. To sign up and reserve a space use the button below.

I’ll give you the tools to view things in a new perspective and teach you techniques that will help you capture the essence of an image through your own lens. My goal isn’t to help you create something ‘perfect’, it’s to equip you to create something that uniquely reflects you.

Learn to make Ukrainian eggs in this 2-hour, beginner-to-intermediate workshop taught by Northern Virginia based Pysanka Artist and Instructor Stephanie Malm, aka Pysanky Steph.

Pysanky (PIH-san-kih) are the vibrant and traditional folk art of Ukrainian style eggs. Pysanky are made with a wax-resist (batik) method. They are written with beeswax by heating the stylus, called a kistka, in a candle flame until the wax melts, and then a design is written on the egg. The egg is fully submerged in dye from lightest color to darkest color, with more wax being applied at each step until finally the last dye bath is the background. The wax is then melted off to reveal your design!

Learn some history and symbolism and take home a Ukrainian style egg that you made yourself!

This workshop will use candles, beeswax, chicken eggs, and permanent dyes. All supplies and tools will be provided.

Plenty of students have told me they ‘couldn’t even draw a stick figure’ yet ended up creating a unique painting they were genuinely pleased with in a class—and you can too—I guarantee it!
I’ll give you the tools to view things in a new perspective and teach you techniques that will help you capture the essence of an image through your own lens. My goal isn’t to help you create something ‘perfect’, it’s to equip you to create something that uniquely reflects you.
