Whoa Final Friday!

Excellent new show at YES gallery, Brush Factory sample sale at Sloane Boutique, and Park + Vine 5th anniversary to top it off!

It’s going to be a lovely but warm one, Streetpops are recommended!

Looking forward to this weekend. Tomorrow is a Final Friday, come visit!

And on Sunday we’re hosting an event, focused on Second Sunday, with Losantiville and YES gallery. Please come share any thoughts, ideas, and hopes you have for Second Sunday on Main, as we’re getting ready to kick off our 7th season!

This event came about following the Final Friday installation by Architecture for Humanity in the Smartfish Supply windows. The feedback was overwhelmingly focused on the ideas of community and neighborhood, and how events such a Second Sunday strengthen both. And how perfect, because Second Sunday on Main is yours! It belongs to the community, and we would love to hear from you!

Meet at 1301 Main St. (Smartfish Supply) at noon. From there we’ll spread out to Losantiville and Yes gallery to brainstorm, and regroup at the end of the day to share. 

Afterwards, join us at Motr courtyard to celebrate!

Winter sale ends Tuesday the 6th. Here until 7pm tonight and tomorrow, hope to see you soon!

February Boat Shoe Workshop

One 6-hour workshop (includes 30 minute break for exploring OTR)

12pm - 6pm

Sunday, February 26^th

$225 covers all supplies & the cost of your pair of shoes

The workshop will be a mixture of demonstration and hands-on participation, covering material selection and pattern placement, pinning and cutting, outsole trimming and sewing, hand lock stitching and other footwear construction techniques.  

Your shoes will then be finished, and ready for you to pick up on March 19^th

Shoes can be made in women’s sizes 7–11+ & men’s sizes 8-13

All skill levels welcome

Workshop size limited to 3 people

There will be plenty of material options available in the shop for you to choose from, or you may bring your own fabric if you would like. There is a chance it will not be a good option for the construction process though. 

To register, or with any questions: hello@smarterthanagoldfish.com

New in the shop: Ilford B&W photo paper & film!

Happy February! To celebrate we’ve marked these lovely Field Notes Calendars down to $9. And because the good folks at Field Notes are smarter than the average bear (or groundhog) these calendars go through April of 2013. So you still have plenty of time to enjoy! 

Setting up for tomorrow’s installation. 

It’s the first Final Friday of the year, and I hope you’ll visit.
