6-8 BYOC - Bring Your Own Craft Night. A quick explanation for our newer followers.
This weekly event is for adults- and we expect everyone to treat each other with kindness. We offer this to bring crafty people together and support each other while creating! On Wednesday nights, the table might be full of crafters & a small project that doesn't require much table space might be better!
We enjoy seeing the friendships made through this regular crafty gathering.
The staff works to keep the space safe for everyone.
Any disruptive people will be asked to leave this or any of our events.
