Looking for a team or holiday activity?  We have you covered (more info)



Grab some friends, book a seat or a full table and join us for a fun Friday evening of crafting.  Pick between a few different projects.  

Enjoy light snacks and refreshments while you create, relax, and catch up. You’re also welcome to bring your own food or favorite drink to enjoy.

No experience is necessary—just come ready to have fun! You’ll leave with a unique handmade piece and, hopefully, a few good memories along the way.
