what we do
Bring whatever you're working on and pull up a seat at the table. Knit next to a stranger, swap junk journaling scraps across the table, and leave with a few new crafty friends. Always a free community event!
Small, guided sessions for learning a new medium from a local expert. All supplies are included and you leave with a handful of handmade goodies!
Every year we put our creativity to work for local organizations — making, selling and collecting items for our neighbors.
