Tuesday, September 29th | 6-8PM | Denim Patchwork | Register via Eventbrite here!
Hue in blue! Play with different shades, washes, and textures of denim to build your own patchwork design, then bring it to life

Fall is doing its thing, so we’re taking a cue from the trees! Play with colorful wool roving and needle felting techniques to create a collection of fuzzy fall leaves; perfect for turning into garlands, patches, little decorations, or simply keeping as tiny textile treasures.
Tuesday, November 17th | 6-8PM | Carved with Gratitude | Register via Eventbrite (Opens 10/13 at 8PM)
Carve it, ink it, stamp it, send it! Design your own hand-carved stamp, then put it to work creating one-of-a-kind gratitude cards for the people who make your world a little brighter. Come ready to slow down, make some marks, and share a little love.
Tuesday, December 1st | 6-8PM | Felt Floral Wreaths | Register via Eventbrite (Opens 11/17 at 8PM)
Twist, tuck, felt, and fluff your way into the holiday season! We’ll pair rustic grapevine wreaths with handmade felted flowers, leaves, berries, and other woolly bits to create something festive enough for December—but lovely enough to hang well beyond it.
Tuesday, December 15th | 6-8PM | Bedezzled Ornaments | Register via Eventbrite (Opens 12/1 at 8PM)
We’re ending the year with maximum sparkle. Choose an ornament and pile on the gems, glitz, color, and wonderfully over-the-top details to create a tiny treasure for your tree—or a shiny little gift for somebody you love.
Each session is two hours, feel free to drop in and leave when you need, but please don’t arrive any later than 5:30PM to ensure you have time to create!
