Category: Arts

Please join us for this relaxed drop-in session for artists and dabblers -- no instruction, but lots and lots of supplies for you to use as you choose. We have everything from a range of substrates and papers (including specialty and handmade papers) and adhesives, to paints and paint markers, washi tapes, rubber stamps and inks, a die cutter with dies and embossing folders, and different ephemera. You can also bring and use supplies of your own. You can come for some or all of the time. It is "pay as you please" with $15 as a middling guideline suggestion -- we recognize everyone's usage is different. You can pay by cash or check made out to "Margaret Lane Gallery" -- we will also have a QR code for accessing a paylink if you prefer to pay by card. Pre-registration is not required, but it helps us plan. Payment is at the time of the session. All mediums welcome. Suitable for adults and mature teens. Younger school age children with supervising adult welcome. Pre-registration (optional) link: www.margaretlanegallery.com/workshop-registration (select "Drop Inn/Open Studio Sessions" Filter)

Anything Goes | Open Studio Art Meet-up is a self-guided, drop-in creative session at Margaret Lane Gallery in Hillsborough where participants can use a wide variety of art supplies to work on their own projects. This session is best suited for adults and older teenagers who can work independently, as there is no formal instruction provided. The gallery provides substrates, specialty papers, paints, stamps, and a die cutter, though you are welcome to bring your own materials too. The suggested cost is fifteen dollars, payable by cash, check, or card via a QR code at the door, and while pre-registration is appreciated, it is not required. It is a peaceful weekday morning option for parents with older kids on a school break, or for a solo creative escape while the younger ones are in preschool. You can stay for the full three hours or just drop in for a quick crafting session before grabbing lunch nearby in downtown Hillsborough.
