Better Than Shopping: Gab & Grab!

 

11/28/25 USk Seattle Gab & Grab at Northgate Branch Library

It’s become our annual thing: Instead of shopping on Black Friday, USk Seattle members happily swap art materials they don’t want for others that they do! Held at the Northgate branch library this year, our popular Gab & Grab was well-attended, and lots of grabbing commenced. It’s a fun way to de-stash, share with friends, and try new materials without spending a dime.

Despite last year’s major studio downsizing (see this post for images of some things I brought to the last Gab & Grab), I still managed to find quite a load to bring. And since I was committed not to take anything back home, I had time to step back (or actually step up onto a chair) and sketch the fun.

(Incidentally, with all the art materials I’ve de-stashed, I’ve been meaning to do a post about which products survived my massive cuts – the things I kept and why. It might still take me a while to figure out the best way to approach the subject, but it’s on my list.)

Let the grabbing commence!

  1. I will be looking forward to your post about what survived! I really like the, I think it’s called, circular commerce?
