2026 Workshops & Events

WEEKLY ACTIVITIES

  • Stitch & Sip

    Most Wednesdays! 11:00am - 1:00pm

    Call us at (540) 520-2171 beforehand to make sure our host is here.

    Do you love crochet, knitting or other textile art? Join a community of like-minded textile artists for Stitch & Sip, a free, casual fiber art gathering at Art on 1st.

    This is a relaxed, social meet-up where knitters, crocheters, and other fiber artists of all levels are invited to create together in a welcoming space. Come to connect with fellow makers. No experience necessary. Stitch & Sip is hosted by Susie Rawlings, volunteer gallery manager at Art on 1st and owner of Critters & Cuddles.

  • Open Easels

    Every Thursday from 12:00pm - 3:00pm

    Bring your own art supplies and make art with friends!  We also have some supplies if you are just getting started.

    We have easels and tables for working in whatever medium you like.  Exchange ideas and techniques, or just hang out with us and talk about art. Everyone is welcome! We always have a great time!

    This event is free to attend. If you enjoy programs like this one, please consider making a small donation to help Art on 1st continue offering free and low-cost events to our community.
