Join The Studio for a day of crafting, fun, and whimsy! We will provide the materials so you can craft several different trinkets, as well as trinket holders. There will also be a space to trade trinkets amongst participants. This program is great for collectors and crafters that love creating small projects to bring some imagination to your day!
You may be wondering, what is a trinket? A trinket is a small item, toy, or piece of jewelry that is fun to look at. Think little shiny objects that you find or make, items you can turn into keychains, or charms you can collect. Some popular trinkets include shells, buttons, small toys, rocks, and other tiny treasures.
