Celebrate Abeille’s 1st Birthday!

It was a year ago this November the Trachtmans opened Abeille in Brookline Village as an oasis for the crafty and non-crafty alike. To celebrate this milestone, Abeille will be hosting an array of activities kicking off on Thursday, November 5th.

November 5, 6:30pm-9:00pm – Meet and Shop with Five Talented Brookline Jewelry Artists
Jenn Mason, mixed-media artist and author
Michelle Rothman, of Ojas Jewelry Design

Lisa Trachtman of Abeille

From 7-9pm, Jenn Mason will be signing and demonstrating key techniques from her latest book, Altered Paper Jewelry. Sara, Michelle, Hanne and Lisa will be showing their work and are available to answer questions, providing a great opportunity to learn more, support local art and get a head start on your holiday shopping. Participants in the events will be entered into a drawing to win free jewelry.

If you can’t make it to Thursday’s celebration, come join us for a “Girls Night” Workshop on Friday from 6pm-7:30pm. We are offering this workshop at a discounted rate of $10. Wine and refreshments will be served, of course.
