🍂 FALL FEST AT THE RBP 👻

The Shops at Westwood’s is celebrating Cultivate’s 5th birthday this Saturday, October 3, and we’re joining the party with some crafty little specials of our own.

The RBP will be OPEN 10 AM–2 PM before we close from 2–4 PM for Taylor’s birthday party.

Come hang out, make something, shop around, then wander over to Cultivate for all the Fall Fest fun.

✨ 10% OFF ALL RETAIL

🎃 $25 SPOOKY SZN SPECIAL
Choose a ceramic ghost or terracotta jack-o’-lantern + Craft Stash access to decorate it however your weird little heart desires.

👻 $20 STITCHY GHOST SPECIAL
Make your own fabric ghost and give them a little embroidered flair. Includes a fabric ghost + embroidery hoop + your choice of stick & stitch patches + needle + floss.

Not feeling the spooky szn crafts? No problem. Regular RBP rules still apply during open hours — BYOP (Bring Your Own Project) is free, or dig into the Craft Stash for $15/hour. Come work on whatever you’re already making.

No registration needed for any of it. Just drop in anytime 10 AM–2 PM.

And while you’re here, help us celebrate our plant-loving neighbors! Cultivate’s Fall Fest runs 10 AM–5 PM with $5 raffles for rare + large plants and gift certificates to Cultivate and Lauren’s Garden Service.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3
🍂 The RBP: 10 AM–2 PM
🌿 Fall Fest: 10 AM–5 PM
🎂 The RBP closes at 2 for a private birthday party

Come make s**t. Buy plants. Celebrate five years of Cultivate. Pretty solid Saturday.

SPOOKY SZN, but make it cross stitch.

Krista is back for another afternoon of stitching + yapping, and this time you get to pick your spooky poison:

Hocus Pocus
or
The Nightmare Before Christmas

Never cross stitched before? Totally fine. Krista will teach you the basics, help you get started, and be there to untangle both your thread and your problems.

Sunday, October 18
2–4 PM
The RBP

Your ticket includes your choice of cross stitch kit + everything you need to get stitching. Whatever you don’t finish during class goes home with you to finish whenever the spirit moves you.

Snacks + drinks welcome. BYOB 21+.

Choose your kit when you register and come get spooky with us.

October got a little more crowded, a little more spooky, and a lot more RBP.

We’ve got spooky cross stitch, ghosts + wildflowers, ravens + rats, Camera Camp, Paper Jam, Stitch & Bitch, Here We Are Anyway, book talk, hand lettering, and—because balance is important—Parts & Crafts.

Plus two chances to craft for a cause:
💜 Oct. 15 — Make Things. Give a Damn. Come make bonnets for pregnancy + infant loss memory boxes. We’ll light candles at 7 PM for the International Wave of Light.
💜 Oct. 18 — Make Things. Give a Damn. Hearts for The Survivor Standard.

And yes, there are some TBDs still lurking so another update is coming.

Free meetups are free. Ticketed workshops require registration. Open Hours = come hang out, BYOP or raid the Craft Stash for $15/hour.

Save it. Zoom in. Send it to your crafty little friends. Come make things with us.

📍 The RBP | Ellicott City
Make things. Build community. Give a damn.

GET YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD JUDGE.

Stephanie from Fern & Folk is bringing the big guys to The RBP this holiday season.

And we do mean BIG.

The Grinch — 30” tall | $185
Thirty inches of pure holiday judgment for your porch, garden, entryway, or anywhere your neighbors can properly appreciate him.

Max — 24” tall | $125
The goodest boy in Whoville. Zero judgment. Just vibes.

The Holiday Duo — $280
Paint them both + save $30 because even the Grinch needs his emotional support dog.

These are full-size cement statues, not your average little Christmas craft. Your workshop includes your pre-primed statue(s), exterior-grade paints, sealer, and everything you need to create holiday decor you can bring out year after year.

Stephanie will be here to help you bring your chosen Whoville resident to life.

COMING TO THE RBP:
Nov. 14
Nov. 21
Dec. 12

10AM - 2PM

Space is limited because, again, these dudes are enormous.

Pick your side: neighborhood judge, goodest boy, or the whole damn duo.

BALTIMORE, WE MADE YOU A PORCH RAT.

Stephanie from Fern & Folk is bringing Ravens + Rats: A Very Baltimore Workshop to The RBP, featuring two cement creatures that feel spiritually correct for this city.

The Raven: 15” tall, appropriately dramatic, and equally at home with the Poe people and the football people. $75

The Baltimore Porch Rat: 9” × 3.5” and our deeply unserious answer to the porch goose. Paint him. Name him. Put him on your porch. Give him seasonal outfits. We support his journey. $65

Can’t choose? Paint both for $120.

All painting supplies are included, and Stephanie will be here to help you turn your new cement friend into exactly the kind of Baltimore nonsense your home has been missing.

Saturday, October 31 | 10 AM–2 PM
Sunday, November 15 | 10 AM - 2PM

Hosted by Stephanie from Stephanie Riley at The RBP.

Poe. Purple. Porch rats.
A very Baltimore craft day. 🐦‍⬛🐀💜

Rainy Sunday plans: cancelled. Crafting plans: activated.

We’re staying open an extra hour tomorrow, Sunday, September 27 — 10 AM–4 PM — because if it’s going to be gross outside, you might as well come make something weird/cute/unnecessarily bedazzled inside.

🌧️ RAINY DAY SPECIAL — drop in anytime
🎃 $30 — Terra-Cotta Jack-o’-Lantern + up to 2 hours of Craft Stash access to decorate it
👻 $30 — Ceramic Ghost + up to 2 hours of Craft Stash access to decorate it
✨ $40 — Pick any MIFC item + up to 2 hours of Craft Stash access to bedazzle/decorate it

No registration. No workshop. No set start time. Just pick your thing, raid the stash, and make it yours. Still going after two hours? Keep crafting for the regular $15/hour Craft Stash rate, or take your project home to finish.

And a reminder: Here We Are Anyway is 10 AM–12 PM. Our free monthly open craft meetup for anyone carrying grief. Bring your own project and hang out for free, use the Craft Stash for $15/hour, or just come sit with people who get it. No pressure to talk or make anything.

All ages welcome. Snacks + drinks welcome. BYOB 21+.

Sunday, September 27 | 10 AM–4 PM
Come hide from the rain with us.

Paint a Peen got a glow up!!

Introducing PARTS & CRAFTS — our expanded second-Friday tradition with Fern & Folk, because why limit ourselves to dicks when there are so many other body parts to bedazzle?

Pick your part — $40:

B**b Job — b**b planter
B***y Call — b***y planter
Bag of Dicks — 5 mini peens
Big Dick Energy — large peen
Clam Jam — 5 mini v***as
The Big V — large v***a

Your ticket includes your chosen concrete creation + full access to the craft stash to paint it, bedazzle it, and make it as cute, weird, sparkly, or unhinged as your heart desires.

Want a lil’ somethin’ on the side?

Add a Peen Cuisine — 3 mini peens
Add a Clam Snack — 3 mini v***as
Or grab another Big Dick Energy or The Big V

Add-ons are $12 each.

Second Friday of every month | 7–9 PM
BYOB 21+. Snacks, dinner + drinks welcome.

Come play with your parts.

More parts ≠ more people. Each person attending needs their own $40 ticket. The $12 add-ons are for adding more anatomy to your crafting pile, not another human to your reservation.
