Whatcom Museum Free First Friday - Handmade Holidays

Visit the Whatcom Museum the first Friday of every month for free admission, extended hours until 9 pm (Family Interactive Gallery open until 6 pm), and programming in both museum buildings: Old City Hall and the Lightcatcher. Check out our website for each month's theme and schedule of events. 

In December, ring in the holiday spirit with crafts and gifts galore. Still looking for the perfect present or want to give someone a one-of-a-kind treasure? Local artists will host workshops throughout the day where you can make, take, and give special goodies to friends and family. 

Felt a pocket pal, design a mosaic ornament, learn the centuries old paper cutting technique of scherenschnitte, and more! In the evening, we’ll reprise our knit night with tunes supplied by jazz quarter Monk Slippers from 6 – 8 pm. Bring a project to work on and craft community during this all-ages celebration.
