Hanukkah and Christmas are celebrated this weekend, so in addition to your holiday festivities, there are a few events to enjoy.
We told you about:
- Feast of the Seven Fishes Dinners on Christmas Eve
Here’s what else is happening:
Feeling like you want to be more creative in 2017? Then head over to Basemeant WRX tonight and attend the Making Journey workshop. Do you have yarn and knitting needles, crochet hooks and started projects? Is there fabric in stacks and garments that need mending? Drop in with your project or questions, meet fellow creatives and makers and finish something. Ina, a curator of materials, instructions and processes of making, will lead you to discover your own making journey. She is a knitter and fiber artist extraordinaire and knows infinite ways of helping you finish what has been started.
