Crafted Cuts: A Collaborative Dinner with DAVE THE BUTCHER
Thurs, May 28, 6:00pm; rain date Jun 18
This urban farm dinner will be an ode to two skilled trades learned over years and passed down through generations: Butchery and Hair Cutting. With the rise of AI, skilled trades that are built on the human touch become ever more precious and vital. Cohosted with our friends at Dave the Butcher, and featuring the chance to meet The Chisel’s and DTB’s emerging generation of artists, this multi-course chef’s dinner will be a wonderful chance to meet friends and neighbors in a comfortable and vibrant atmosphere. (Vegetarian and Gluten-free options will be available when purchasing your tickets.)
RECURRING EVENTS
The Sunday Letter Project
Every Sunday, open-hours
When was the last time you wrote a letter. And no, we don’t mean that email you banged out using Gemini while balancing a cup of coffee in one hand, and multiple Zoom windows with the other.
We mean a good, old fashioned letter.
The Sunday Letter Writing Project is your weekly invitation to balance. To recalibrate, reconnect. To go back to basics and remind yourself of what is really important.
By signing up for the project, you will take a pledge: a pledge to take a pocket of time each Sunday and dedicate it to yourself, your loved ones or your community. Then-and this is the fun part—you simply visit The Chisel on Sundays to pause, think, and write.
We will have the espresso machine and the kettle on. We’ll have stationary, envelopes, pens and stamps. You just need to show up, let the words come, and see what grows.
