• Workshops and Classes: Regularly scheduled classes for adults and children alike, covering skills such as pottery, painting, and seasonal crafts.
• Parties and Events: Customers can rent the workshop space for birthday parties, small groups and team building events.  A workshop can be added to make it more of a hands-on and fun event.

The store's layout is designed to evoke warmth and inspiration, inviting customers to browse and immerse themselves in the artistry that makes Rehoboth's creative community special. The space will also host rotating pop-up events, guest artists, and seasonal showcases to keep offerings fresh and diverse.
