Is your fridge looking a little plain? Brighten it up by creating your own polymer clay magnets!

This self-guided crafting event provides everything you need—tools, clay, and a cozy spot to work. You’ll sculpt your own designs, and we’ll handle the baking and finishing so your creations are ready to stick to the fridge (or any magnetic surface).

Make as many magnets as you’d like, no prior experience required. All materials are included, and the activity is kid-friendly (children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent).

Tickets are $20!

A Night with the Rochester Bagpiper

Join professional bagpiper Jake Kwiatkowski for the answers to some of life’s most burning questions:

  • How do bagpipes work?

  • Where do bagpipes come from? (Spoiler, it’s not Scotland.) 

  • Am I allowed to wear a kilt?

  • Was Scotty actually playing the pipes at Spock’s funeral?

Jake has been a piper since the age of five and currently makes his living as a full-time bagpipe instructor and performer in the Rochester area. He has travelled the United States, Canada, and Scotland to perform and compete. Spend an evening with Jake listening to ancient and modern bagpipe tales, the stories behind the music being performed, and the history of this crazy instrument.

Tickets are $20.00.
