Running With Scissors’ Annual Holiday Market: Mark Your Calendars!!
Stay Tuned! Maine Craft Weekend is an excellent opportunity to visit and get inside Running With Scissors Artist Studios. Come see what we’re all doing; clay, paper, ink, wood, and, paint! Come see printing presses, kilns, exposure units, and acid baths. Buy direct from the artists!
Open Studio + Shop Hours return on Saturday, June 25th: come see what we make, how we do it, and take home a tasty piece of stationery! The studio is open from 11:00am to 4:30pm.
We make calendars, journals, cards and more, all printed and bound onsite; Strong Arm Bindery is a compact wonder of equipment, ongoing projects, and future plans.
We are located at Running With Scissors Artist Studios, 250 Anderson Street in Portland’s East Bayside Neighborhood. Follow the signs to the “Main Entrance” and ring the Strong Arm bell.
