Bring your current project, your repairs, the beads you have meant to restring . Browse our catalogs, magazines, pick our brains and borrow the drill.
“Can this ring be fixed?”
“What kind of stone is this?”
“Can you help me with this necklace?”
This is your chance to ask questions while scrounging for treasures amongst the beads!

Friday, June 5th
Leah Barrows Artist Reception, 6-9pm
The Picklepot’s newest artist brings alchemy and mystery to us, in the form of her large scale paintings and unusual jewelry. Meet the artist and chat more with her about her vision and her process. She is also the author of “The Vampyre Cookbook” and will have copies on hand for purchase.
Saturday, June 6th
Open Studio: Jennifer “jeff” Bowie, silversmith and jewelry designer, will be at her bench all day.

Memorial Day Weekend
Satuday from 10am-6pm
Sunday from 12pm-6pm
We are cleaning house!
A selection of beads, buttons, jewelry findings, ATC supplies, stickers, scrapbooking supplies…
The Vampyre Cookbook
A cool, eclectic cookbook for those who adore all things Vampyre! From Succubus Beef Stew to Goth Girl Mellow Tea, this cookbook provides a true alchemistic approach to not so traditional gothic delicacies. There’s nothing like a piece of Pound of Flesh Cake topped off with a little Dracula Sorbet. Ahh, Gothic Cuisine at its finest… Even if you don’t cook, this is one of those rare cook books that is worth actually reading!
