??Adding some painted details to our new #crepepaper #poppy window

A post shared by Collage Collage (@collagecollage) on

It’s the time of year when we start racking our brains for original and creative holiday gift ideas. Fortunately, the crafty people at Mount Pleasant’s Collage Collage arts and crafts studio/shop are here to inspire us. On Tuesday, November 28th they’re holding an adults-only Block Printing workshop — no experience necessary and all materials included. The two-hour workshop will set you well on your way with four to ten pieces to please the people on your list, from kitchen linens and wine bags to gift wrap and cards. Plus, it’s an awesomely fun, potentially educational and very productive way to spend a dark winter evening. Sign up here now!

Tue, Nov. 28 | 6:30 – 8:30pm | Collage Collage (3697 Main St.) | $30
