Retro String Art Workshop

Join our Retro String Art Workshop!

Our friends at Sons of Liberty in South Kingstown, RI are hosting us, so come spend an afternoon putting a fresh spin on a classic retro craft! String art became a popular decorative art form in the 1960s and 1970s, combining simple materials – wood, nails, and string – to create surprisingly intricate designs.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create a sailboat with a colorful sunset behind it. We’ll provide everything you need to make your masterpiece: a wooden board, design template, nails, colored string, and the use of our hammers and nail guides. We’ll walk you through placing and driving the nails, following the pattern, and wrapping the string to build your design one line at a time.

No experience is necessary. Bring your curiosity and creativity - we’ll supply the tools, materials, good vibes, and plenty of step-by-step instruction and guidance so you can go home with a wicked cool piece of retro-inspired art that you made yourself.

So come spend an afternoon with us and, as we like to say, Make something that doesn’t suck.™

Food and Drinks

Sons of Liberty is a distillery, and their Tasting Room offers a select menu of small bites in addition to their spirits, served either straight or in cocktails. To support our hosts, we encourage attendees to arrive early and enjoy what SOL has to offer for food and drink.

“Feel free to bring in your own food to enjoy. We do have small bites available for purchase as well as recurring food pop-ups. We only ask that you don’t bring in outside food during our monthly Food Truck Night that can feature up to 5–6 different food trucks.”

Tools & Materials

The registration fee includes the use of all the tools and materials you will need to make your masterpiece.

Glitter Policy

Don’t even think about it. While we may appreciate your enthusiasm and interest in shiny things, please do not bring glitter to our workshops. Glitter is very unwelcome at our venues and makes an absolute mess if spilled in any amount. If you spill it, you will be responsible for cleanup. If you bring glitter to a workshop, you will be asked to remove it from the venue and return it to your vehicle or otherwise secure it away from the workshop area.

Refund Policy

Refunds, minus Eventbrite service fees, are available up to 7 days before the event.

For cancellations made less than 7 days before the event, refunds are not available; however, at our discretion, your registration may be transferred to another available workshop or applied as a credit toward a future Artsy Fartsy workshop.

No-shows are not eligible for a refund.

If we cancel the workshop, attendees will receive a full refund.
