Visit Us August 3rd for First Friday

Posted on July 22nd, 2018 in Classes, Events, First Fridays, News, Shopping by |

Henna & a new Make & Take Pendant at Funky Hannah’s….First Friday is THE event in downtown Racine! 

We are full of creative fun, especially during First Fridays.  Stop in and adorn yourself with henna from the magically talented Luna.  Our workshop area will be rocking with a fun all ages Make & Take — handpaint hardwood mandala pendants, letter pendants & more with materials from a trunk show from Tangible Light Studio.  The trunk show kicks off during First Fridays and will run for one week.  Don’t miss it!

Henna art by Luna. Funky’s pal Leayn has already reserved her spot first in line at 4pm on First Fridays!

Wood pendants for the Make & Take during First Fridays.

 
Be sure to visit our sister business — Hot Shop Glass, 239 Wisconsin Ave — it is the hottest, coolest place downtown!  Watch as local artists turn 2000º molten glass into art right before your eyes!  The whole family will want to pull up a seat and watch demonstrations from 4-8:30pm.
