Book Vase Painting Workshop
We're teaming up with Get Fired Up, a paint-your-own-pottery studio in Downtown Melbourne, to bring you a book vase painting workshop at the bookstore! These book-shaped ceramic vases start out white, but by painting them with glazes, you can transform them into anything you choose! Get Fired Up will take your vases, fire them, and have them available for pickup a week later.
As a bonus, you can select a book cover for them to stencil onto your vase beforehand for no extra cost! If you have a specific book in mind, enter it in the box below. We'll do our best to fulfill each request, but we can't guarantee, especially if you're purchasing your ticket within a week of the event. If you DON'T want a stencil, just put "none" or "N/A" in the box and your vase will be left blank!
This workshop is $40 and includes the cost of the vase, glazes, firing, all additional supplies, and instruction by a Get Fired Up staff member.

Queer Company Gatherings
We are joining forces with To Write Love on Her Arms and hosting a nonjudgmental peer-led space where our community can come together to give and receive support for one another. Peer-led support groups are nonclinical spaces where we do not seek to fix, analyze or diagnose one another. We believe that each person has a different set of things that work for them and center supporting somebody in the way that they want to be supported.
This is an opportunity to build our support system and hold space for one another as we navigate our unique life journeys as LGBTQIA+ individuals and the struggles associated. We welcome those that are questionings, multiple gender loving, asexual, or ANY label under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. We welcome anyone that is18+ and a part of our community living anywhere to join us!
This space will be hosted by To Write Love on Her Arms at the Moonstruck Market every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 5:30PM-7PM. It will be provided at no cost to attendees for anybody 18+.
Powerpoint Party
Join us for an evening of presentations! Each presenter will get 10 minutes to tell us about anything they would like. Come ramble about your hyperfixation, tell us about the difference between dragons and wyvern, introduce your OCs, discuss your favorite Pokemon, talk about which characters would win in a fight, teach us the lore behind your favorite fandom. Can it fit into a 10-minute time slot? Come share it with us! (This one is 18+, so go wild!)
Each presentation must be:
10 minutes or under, FIRM cut-off to allow for everyone to present
Not related to anything overly violent
Emailed to moonstruckmarketfl@gmail.com by 5/17 to be screened. If it isn’t screened, it won’t be shown

Come swap your unwanted yarn balls for new-to-you yarn! This is a great way to destash, refresh your yarn collection, and meet other crafters in the community!
