Smocktail Hour at Artspace!

​Come join us for Smocktail Hour, a new alcohol-free event featuring seasonal, botanical mocktails, where participants will engage with local artists and artisans for an evening of art-making, connection, and fun! Spearheaded by Katy Rugg of Petal Palate, and Heidi Rugg of Barefoot Puppet Theatre, to build community around creating art while enjoying seasonal botanical drinks in a space that celebrates local art.

​Come feast all of your senses!

​For our November 16th event at Artspace, we will be gathering for 'Morel Support', to celebrate all things mushroom - and feed our underlying networks of connection, fed by composting of what is old and no longer serves us.

​Art-making: Puppeteer and Fiber Artist, Heidi Rugg, will lead us in learning needle felting technique (we get to poke and stab things! A LOT! Very therapeutic!) to create something beautiful: bas-relief mushrooms in wool.

​Your Ticket includes: All materials/art supplies, your first seasonal mocktail (cash mocktail bar for more), and social time! (And therapeutic poking!) We also welcome feedback and suggestions to help us plan for future events.

​Suggested donation of $15 to $26. Additional non-alcohol beverages available for purchase. Space is limited, so we encourage signing up soon!

​Parking: Enjoy free, lighted parking in the Stratford Hills Shopping Center. With 140 spaces, there will be plenty of room for YOU.

​About the space: Artspace is a nonprofit gallery for the visual and performing arts. This volunteer-run organization is led by its artist members and supported by community members and volunteers.
