Crafternoon News

Last time our “Crafternoon” project was yarn-covered jars and in June we did mirrored button, bead and mosaic wall art. One of our goals with “Crafternoon” is to provide new skills with a project that hopefully you can use — and maybe even develop an ongoing interest. Imagine my excitement when we received an email from a participating patron with a thank you and pictures of what she has continued to do with these crafts.

“I just wanted to send a quick thank you for hosting the “Crafternoon” sessions. I am really enjoying them and love learning the new skills.  Here is a picture of my completed yarn wrapped jar from Saturday and button projects I have made for my sisters using buttons my mom saved throughout the years.” -“Crafternoon” Participant

This is exactly what we are going for. Yay! Next month, we are going to be using scrabble tiles, and in October we will be doing an “Introduction to Embroidery” class with a part 2 to follow in early 2025. Think “stars” for November and “BYOC” (bring your own craft) for December. And, don’t worry, we have already begun developing other exciting classes for 2025!

These classes fill quickly and registration typically begins 2 weeks before the class. After that, you will be placed on a waiting list to be called when we have a cancellation. And we make those calls often, so be sure to register for the waiting list. Please remember these classes are for adults only as many of the projects are working with items that may not be safe for kids. See you at the next “Crafternoon”!
