Have a stack of art supplies collecting dust? Looking to make your existing artistic process more social?

If you're ready to tackle a craft and enjoy the company of other creative-minded folks, join us in the Craft Corner for an evening of casual art-making. This is an open space to use freely – bring your watercolor set, coloring book, sewing machine, polymer clay – and get to work! If you're between projects, you're welcome to bring a book, a puzzle to work on with the group, or anything that will spark your creativity.

Ages 18+. This is a non-instructional gathering and attendees are responsible for bringing their own projects to work on. Please be mindful and avoid turpentine or other odorous materials. BYOB + snacks welcome!
