“Help is available for the Homemade Holiday”

(Butte, MT, Nov 6) If you are planning on having a “homemade” holiday this year, it is time to contact the elves in the Historic Weaving – Uptown Elfin Workshop. We have limited time and limited space, but a large range of things we can help people do for the holidays.

We have weaving, quilting, sewing, crochet and knitting, drawing, painting, printing, card making, ceramics, musicians, people who make sound recordings, sign makers, illustrators, we have people skilled in food preparation/cooking for gifting. There are writers, actors, framers and more all available to help you make your project/gift making a success.

We can coach you or provide magic elfin assistance to make sure your gift is ready on time. We also can offer experiences as well as gift making opportunities.

When you stop in the workshop and tell us what you are looking to accomplish, we can connect you with someone to loves to do that very thing. Prices will vary depending on the project and the elf doing the work. You will be able to set a budget and a time frame for delivery.

Homemade is not hurried. Homemade is slow-made and slow-made requires time. Visit the most creative people in Butte and let us help make your holidays merry.

For the artist in all of us, the lobby of the Phoenix Block Building has been transformed into a POP-UP community coloring book fitting with the Urban location of the neighborhood. Stop in the shop to claim your portion of the page to color and bring to life for the community of Butte. There are lots of opportunities.

In the front windows of the Phoenix Block at 68 W. Park Street, on the first floor you can see a traditional weaving studio in action. The studio is filled with color, fiber and the equipment needed to make textiles by hand. Watch as the master weaver is sharing her knowledge with students, and making handmade articles for the public to purchase to support the studio’s outreach work in the field of Arts Education.
