Craftsgiving weekend of two workshops benefitting the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.

Hands Off Chicago. One year later. We're again engaging our community to raise funds for ICIRR - Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. 50% off this weekend's tickets go back to ICIRR to support their advocacy and policy work. ICIRR builds power with over 100 member and partner organizations representing diverse immigrant and refugee communities. Together the coalition works to win policies to ensure a more equitable society rooted in dignity and respect for all.

Join us for one of two festive succulent floral workshops perfect for your tablescape or host gifts! Keep one, gift one or keep both to enjoy well beyond the fall! 

Here are the details - the last of the real pumpkins and real succulents - no carving. And new addition WAVY floral CANDLES! Pick your project base with your order so we can roughly estimate quantities and setup. All projects include live succulent cuttings that will decorate your pumpkin or candle for the season, then take root and continue to live on long past the fall. All materials and tools will be provided including wireless glue guns. Pick between two minis or one medium pumpkin, and/or set of candles - all are great fall centerpieces and include upcycled dried floral accents. Have the perfect pumpkin at home?! PLEASE feel free to bring it!

This workshop is great for all and no experience is needed. We will provide hands-on instruction, care instructions, and a handout to refer to when your pumpkin is toast and succulents are ready to plant! Share this link with your crafty friends and celebrate fall together.
