We believe there’s nothing better than gathering with friends to work on a craft project while enjoying a nice glass of wine and good conversation. If you agree, then our next Third Thursday program is for you! Plēb Urban Winery kicks off the event with a virtual wine tasting, which you can pair with a delicious mezze platter from Perspective Café by Food Experience. Following that, work on your own craft project while Assistant Curator Whitney Richardson and our friends at Blue Spiral 1 talk with artist Carol Milne about her intricate knitted glass sculptures. Purl’s Yarn Emporium closes the program with a discussion of craftivism and yarn-bombing public spaces.

Space is limited; to register, email Kristen Boddy, membership & Museum events manager, or call 828.253.3227 x117. Zoom login information will be emailed to participants prior to the program.
