If it stinks, we don't want it.
Please don't bring anything moldy, dirty, super heavy, or in need of repair. We love the old, cool, vintage stuff, but if it isnt functional, please leave it at home.
This swap is not for antiques or curios, it's about usable crafting and art making materials and supplies.
We do love fabric but don’t bring your small scraps (less than a fat quarter), cut up t-shirts, stuffing from your sofa, old pillows or clothing.
We also ask that you leave the hazardous materials in your garage, including oil-based solvents, house paint, dry paint tubes, stuff that is crazy heavy, etc.
If it cannot be used immediately and without rehabilitation as a crafting material, supply, or tool, please don't bring it.
ALL art supplies must leave the carriage house after the swap. We are not accepting donations of unsold/unswapped items. -
As a "vendor" you are responsible for collecting payment from customers. We would suggest offering some type of electronic payment process like Venmo or PayPal as well as cash.
If you and someone feel like swapping with no payment necessary, swap away my dears.

The swap will be held at the Carriage House of the museum on the bottom floor.
