Crafts & Cocktails

Let’s get artsy with our veggies! In this cozy, creative workshop, we’ll turn humble potatoes into playful printmaking tools and use them to hand-stamp beautiful, one-of-a-kind tea towels. Carve, dip, and press your way to patterns that are as charming as they are unexpected. No experience needed, just a love for DIY fun.

We’ll keep spirits bright with a cozy Spiced Punch, served alcohol-free for Dry January, with the option to add a shot if you’re feeling a little extra spicy
