Craftopia: Granny Squares class @ Craftopia
Tickets
Oct 7 @ 2:00 pm

They may sound old-fashioned, but there is nothing cooler than Granny Squares. In this class, crocheters will learn the basic pattern to a granny stitch and learn how to make it straight, round or square. You’ll be stitching like a…erm…granny by the time you are done! You should already be confident with single crochet before taking this class. Double crochet a plus, but not required. Hook and yarn will be available, or bring your own if you prefer.

Craftopia: Papermaking class @ Craftopia
Tickets
Oct 7 @ 4:00 pm

Join us for a family-friendly, fun class making your very own paper! Learn about the process and make sheets of your very own paper to take home. You’ll be able to play with color, decorations, and make your very own unique paper to turn into cards, journals, or anything else you can dream of. Recommended for ages 6+. Children under 10 need a parent with them to help. Paper takes about 24 hours to dry, so you can make arrangements to pick up your dried paper later at the studio, or bring a towel and box to transport home to dry yourself.

Beer and Bites Dinner and Auction Benefiting South Sound CARE Foundation @ The Waterfrom Venue at Narrows Marina

ANNUAL AUCTION BENEFITING SOUTH SOUND CARE FOUNDATION CELEBRATES 10 YEARS

Beer & Bites is October 7th! 

Beer & Bites, the annual event and auction benefitting The South Sound CARE Foundation (CARE) will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, October 7th 2023. All proceeds from this annual event go towards expanding clinical trials and research for patients fighting cancer in the South Sound. Historically a cancer diagnosis in the South Sound meant an immediate referral to Seattle or cancer centers far beyond. Since 2008, the South Sound CARE Foundation has been expanding access to the very best care for patients in the Puget Sound region. Important trials are conducted locally, patients are living longer and they are living better lives. Beer & Bites helps fund this research and provide access to care that patients were previously unable to find locally.

Spearheaded by CARE’s Founder, Dr. Frank Senecal, and Gordon Rush, a CARE Emeritus Board Member and Founder of The Rush Companies, Beer & Bites got its start in 2013 as a way to get the local community involved in improving treatments options for a disease that has touched far too many: cancer. The 10th annual Beer & Bites fundraiser will be held at The Waterfront Venue at Narrows Marina. The generosity of the local community has allowed Beer & Bites to raise more than $7.6 million over the last 10 years to bring important research to our area and to allow cancer patients to stay close to home, surrounded by their support systems during some of the most challenging times of their life.

“Finding a better way to care for our patients and a better way to treat the cancer – whether it is surgery, immune therapy, chemo therapy, or radiation therapy—all depend upon good clinical research,” said Dr. Frank Senecal, Founder of the South Sound CARE Foundation. “Beer & Bites helps make that research possible.”

Craftopia: Soap Making class @ Craftopia
Tickets
Oct 9 @ 4:30 pm

Have you ever wondered how to make soap from scratch? Well, now is your chance to learn about cold-pressed soap! This 90-minute class will start with a demonstration of making a soap base using various oils and goat milk, as well as discussing the challenges and safety precautions required when using sodium hydroxide for saponification. The soap base will then be divvied up and students will be able to color and scent their batch to make their very own personalized bars of soap. You will be sent home with three bars of your very own as well as instructions on how to cure it. Cold processed soap requires three to four weeks to cure, so please be sure you have a place with good airflow for it to rest for that time before using. This class does involve the use of sodium hydroxide which is caustic, so right now this class is for ages 16+ only.
$30 per person. Register at www.craftopiawa.com
