Magick, Masks, & Mysteries Opening Reception
You're invited to our celebration of the witchy and weird as our shop walls are taken over by paintings, tapestries, handmade masks, and knitted creatures. At the Small Victories studio we're all artists and creators, so take this chance to see a sampling of the cool things we make in our free time.

Opening Reception - Visual Spells: Tufted Wall Art, Enchantment, Bookbinding by Brenda Roswess
Explore tufted art and handmade books by a self-described "art witch crafting visual spells that are portals to higher vibrations." Made with a tufting gun that shoots yarn through the back of a canvas to form a type of rug, tufted art can be displayed on a wall, table, or altar. These pieces add simplicity, softness, and enchantment to any space. Brenda believes that "crafting is a wellness practice" and she teaches book art workshops to share the magic of accessing a flow state through crafting.

Needlefelting Demonstration at Small Victories
Have you ever wondered how we make our own needle-felted patches right in the Small Victories shop? Needle felting uses special notched needles to sculpt fibers into colorful 2D or 3D designs. See it in action at our demonstrations with local fiber artist Vincent Finch-Brand. And if you're feeling inspired, you can take home your own kit with the Small Victories studio's tried-and-true tools.
