Dykes w/ Dice - TTRPG Speed Dating
We’re back and ready to roll this Spring!
Interested in playing TTRPGS but not into high fantasy games like D&D? Maybe you’re just looking to spice up your gaming table? Come by Swan Meadow for DYKES with DICE!

Every session we’ll spotlight one of the myriad of Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) the world has to offer. We plan to especially highlight games made by LGBTQIA creators, indie games and games with a smaller dice pool (bc math is hard).

Indigo Dyeing with Black Rat Farms
Join Erin Luna of Black Rat Farms for an Indigo Dyeing Workshop at Swan Meadow. Participants will learn about the process of indigo dyeing and try their hands at that process themselves. Participants will each receive one cotton bandana to dye and are also welcome to bring their own cotton, linen, wool, or silk textiles to dye. We ask that you limit the textiles you bring from home to the size of two t-shirts (maybe there's a better way to word that??). Participants should wear clothes and shoes that they do not mind getting dirty.

Crafternoon!
Crafternoons are a free, drop-in time for anyone to come hang out and work on their latest project, art piece, or creation! No RSVP is required :)
