Sunday Swap: October Handmade Exchange at Stark Brewing Company

Have you seen the viral Sunday Swap trend? Think of it as a makers market, creative gift exchange, and Sunday social all rolled into one. Join Dash of Creativity at Stark Brewing Company in Manchester, New Hampshire, for a cozy October Sunday afternoon of handmade creativity, local connections, great food, and craft beer. Create Five Handmade Items to Swap Choose one type of handmade item and create five versions to bring to the swap. They can all match, or you can change up the colors, patterns, materials, scents, themes, or decorative details. Make something useful, colorful, cozy, funny, seasonal, or unexpected. This is a relaxed way to share something you enjoy making and head home with new handmade finds from other local creators. Ideas include: • Fall or Halloween ornaments • Crocheted bookmarks • Beaded bracelets • Candles • Embroidered decorations • Handmade cards • Keychains or small accessories • Mini painted canvases • Yarn-wrapped pumpkins During the event, you will exchange your creations with other participants and leave with five handmade surprises. Your Ticket Includes • Admission to the October Handmade Swap • A welcoming, organized space to meet other local makers • A facilitated exchange designed to keep the swap simple and fair • Five handmade items selected during the exchange • An afternoon of creativity, conversation, and seasonal inspiration Participants are responsible for making and bringing their five swap items.
