Craft Exchange with Diya

Some birthdays call for a party. Mine calls for a room full of creative souls, unfinished projects, colorful hands, good conversations, and a little cake!

As I turn 40, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than bringing together the wonderful people I’ve met through art, clay, and life.

So come as you are, bring a little creativity with you, and let’s spend an evening making, sharing, exchanging, and celebrating together.

Bring a Little, Share a Little, Create a Lot!

Every artist has that little collection of treasures. A few extra paintbrushes, leftover clay tools, beautiful papers, yarn, fabric, beads, books, or that unfinished project waiting patiently for its moment.

• brushes
• paints
• books
• yarn
• beads
• clay tools

We’re creating a little community corner where art supplies, craft materials, books, and creative treasures can find new hands and new inspiration.

Bring something to work on while we sit together, exchange something with another maker, or simply leave supplies behind for someone who might give them a beautiful second life.

You never know what someone else’s leftovers might inspire you to create!

An Evening Full of Little Creative Surprises

1. 5 PM

   Come In, Grab a Cup & Settle In

   We’ll begin with coffee, matcha, conversations, and familiar faces meeting new ones.

   Sravya from Bored Coffee (@boredcoffeellc) will be bringing her coffee cart, and you’ll have a coffee or matcha ticket to enjoy something delicious.

2. A Little Art to Carry Home

   Neha from Mango & Mandala (@mangoandmandala) will be sharing her beautiful henna art, and we’ll also have tote-bag printing, because what’s a gathering of creative people without making something to take home?

3. 5:30 PM

   Let’s Find Our Rhythm

   Dimitri from Drum Drum Drum (@drumdrumdrumspace) will bring us together for an hour-long interactive group drumming experience. No experience needed, just an open heart and a willingness to make a little noise together!

4. And of Course, Cake!

   There will be snacks, cake, laughter, and hopefully plenty of those beautiful conversations that happen when creative people gather around a table.

Come for the Cake. Stay for the Connection.

This isn’t about making something perfect. It’s about sharing what we love, finding inspiration in one another, and celebrating the creative community that makes life so much richer.

Your presence is the biggest gift.
