The Ultimate Craft Supply Sale!
For Crafters. By Crafters. To Crafters. From Crafters.
About this Event
Join us for an exciting day of shopping and creativity! This event was first held in 2022 as a way to help crafters sell to crafters. If you are like me, you have a tendency to buy extra supplies for each project "just in case;" you buy something because you like it (though have no use for yet); you hate seeing perfectly good craft supplies go to waste; you have inherited or been gifted craft supplies; all the while you are trying very hard not to spend all your money on your hobbies. This event brings together crafters to give unused or wanted craft supplies, materials, resources, and tools another chance at being crafted into something awesome. Whether you are looking to sell your supplies or add to your stash, this is an event for YOU!
Crafting for all!
What, Why, & How?
The Community Stash is an initiative to help support crafting in the Ancaster/Hamilton area. This was started in an attempt to bring more opportunities to people of all ages to learn and experience joy from crafting. How it works is all the money raised through this initiative will be used to buy supplies for programs that need them. At this event, there is a group of tables called the Community Tables and they sell donated craft supplies to raise money for this initiative.
If you run or know of a program in need of supplies, please reach out to us via email (ancasterstashswap@gmail.com).
