Upcoming Events
From studio pop-ups to curated markets, here’s what’s coming up in the world of Fine & Splendid Things.
Come for the charm, leave with something splendid.
Open Studio Events
During Open Studio hours, the door is open and you’re warmly invited to step inside and see what’s in progress, browse what’s finished, and meet the maker behind it all.
This is a working studio as well as a shop. You'll find handcrafted bags, vintage home goods with history, curated art, and materials in mid-transformation—plus the stories and stitching behind them.
Some dates align with community events, others are quieter days. Either way, you're welcome here.
