WHAT. A. DAY. 😅

We got to support the by popping up at the Adult Book Fair while the crafterns held down the fort back home at the Factory! They are incredible volunteers and we literally would not be able to bring the factory magic out and about without them!

The booth had book fair staples, puzzles, games, bookish gifts, and had a pop station where we did custom charm bookmarks on-site and they all turned out amaziiiiing!!

Not to be outdone we had two amazing parties with incredible women celebrating their friends and making cute dopamine decor and we love 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 see 👏🏻 it 👏🏻

Community is the biggest component of what we do and we could not be more grateful to be a creative community hub for our amazing city and all of our super crafty pals! ❤️ 🌈 📚

Happy pride month darlings!! 🌈 ✨🏳️‍🌈

Just in case the rainbows didn’t tip you off, Glitter Factory DSM is a q***r owned and operated space filled with rainbows and sparkles and so much damn dopamine it could unalive a neurotypical 😘

I am so insanely proud and grateful for this space of magic and inclusion and accessibility but the magic only keeps happening with magical humans like you showing up and using it and creating and building community in real time.

If you have the chance or ability please consider supporting your LGBTQIA+ businesses this month (and all the months!!) because at the end of the day we just wanna keep doin the things for you! But also…in this economy?! WE NEED YOU!

Create in a space designed for you with your favorite humans. Remember that putting your phone down and making stuff with your hands is good for your brain and spreads the crafty love wherever we can! ❤️✨✌🏻
