A Curious Eve - A Halloween Arts & Crafts Night

​A Curious Eve is an evening of arts, crafts and curious little rituals — a Halloween-inspired creative night. ​No artistic skills, witchcraft experience or creative confidence required. Just come, pick a station (or a few), make something with your hands, and take a piece of the evening home with you.
​
There will be three different activities:

​Tarot Cards — €20
​Create your own tarot card from scratch using watercolors, rhinestones and other decorative materials. You can make an existing card your own or invent something completely new.

​Spell Jars — €25
​Make a small spell jar using herbs, spices and other ingredients — including things like lavender, cinnamon sticks and bay leaves. Choose your intention: love, protection, luck, abundance, courage... and create a little jar around it.

​Charm Boxes — €25
​Paint and decorate your own little wooden box, then give it a purpose. Keep a talisman, a meaningful trinket, a tiny wish, a secret, or whatever feels worth keeping close.

We will also have a communal grimoire where you can write down a spooky story that happened to you (or someone you know), share a well intentioned spell, leave a message for someone or simply add something curious you'd like to put out into the world. Everything you make is yours to take home — except the grimoire, which stays behind for future curious visitors to add to.
All materials included.

​Members also get a free drink with the event.
​Come for the crafts, stay for the atmosphere, and leave with something slightly magical.

Please note that registration alone does not guarantee your spot; you must purchase a ticket here to secure your place- https://luma.com/1ahy4xjp​
