Who’s excited for the Nov. 21 release of “Wicked: For Good”?! Our November Open Studio session will be dedicated to preparing for the second installment in the story of everyone’s favorite witches. Our Open Studio workshops are open house style, so stay for a few minutes, or hang out all day. 

This event is not just for kids! Adults are invited to get crafty with us, whether you've got a kid with you or not.

Open Studio workshops feature crafting stations, so you can try a bit of everything, or spend longer on your favorites. We’re still finalizing our projects, but you can expect:

  • At least one accessory that you can wear to the theater when you see the movie.

  • A wall hanging that you can customize for your favorite character.

  • Lots of charms, trinkets and other whimsical supplies befitting the magical world of Oz.

  • And of course, the movie soundtrack for singing along!

All the projects are open-ended, and ready for you to put your own spin on them. There will be no official instruction, but we will offer lots of inspiration if you need it.

Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. It helps us so much to know how many people to expect, so advance tickets are discounted! Crafters 4 and under are free, but must be accompanied by a paying adult. 

This is not a drop-off event. All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Duration: 2 hours
Ages: 18+
Led by: Locally Crafted Workshop (@createatlocallycrafted)

When we started hosting Meet and Make workshops in July, we hoped they would be a way for women to casually connect, chat and of course, craft. We had no idea they would vault quickly to the top of our list of favorite events!

Let’s keep the connections going with our next workshop, where our co-owner, Becky, will teach some simple techniques to make felt flowers. After a demo of a few felt basics, everyone will choose a base to make an ornament or small wall hanging. Choose a fall color palette, create something to match your everyday decor, or skip straight to a winter holiday theme. We invite you to come alone or bring a friend or two for some low-key crafting and chatting. Enjoy a drink and a light snack, too.

This workshop is open to women ages 18+.

Needle-Felted Dog Ornaments

Needle-Felted Dog Ornaments

Duration: 2½ hours
Ages: 10 to adult (under 13 with an adult)
Led by: E. Foley (@foleysdogtraining)

Use wool and needle-felting techniques to create an ornament that looks like your dog — you can even incorporate your dog’s fur into your project!

Needle felting is a fun and easy-to-learn craft that creates sculptures by stabbing wool with a special needle. If you can hold a needle and stab with it, you’ve got enough experience to make your dog out of wool.

Stressed about work? STAB! Mad about something? STAB! Big feelings about the news? STAB! You’ll relieve stress and finish the night with an adorable ornament to hang on your Christmas tree (or a cabinet handle, doorknob,  etc.) — and enough supplies to make a second ornament at home!

Each crafter will get:

  • A kit with more than $40 of needle-felting supplies to take home — enough to make a dog ornament, and a patterned red and green ornament (or trade for Hanukkah blue!)

  • Guided instruction and hands-on help to make your dog come alive in wool

  • Written and video tutorials on needle felting from FeltedSky

  • Ask The Dog Trainer — your needle felting instructor, E. Foley, (@foleysdogtraining) is also a certified dog trainer, so feel free to ask your dog questions while you are crafting!

You should bring:

  • Photos of your dog's head from all angles (probably already on your phone!)

  • A tiny baggie of your dog's fur if you want to add it to your ornament

  • The desire to relieve all your stress and tell stories about your dog with your new friends

This workshop is for crafters ages 10 to adult. For children, ask yourself, "Would I trust my child with a sharp, barbed needle?" If you would, they can come! Under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. 

A few other FAQs:

Q: Wool makes me itchy — can I still do this?

A: Yes! There will be disposable gloves available if you want to minimize contact with the wool. 

Q: Can I make my cat instead?

A: Yes! You'll be hanging out with a lot of dog people, but we don't bite (hard).

LCW Book Club: Mini Bookcases

Duration: 2 hours
Ages: 16 to adult
Led by: Locally Crafted Workshop (@createatlocallycrafted)

We got so much nice feedback after our first mini bookcases workshop (and we had so much fun ourselves), we decided to do it again! If you missed our first LCW Book Club meeting, join us for this one. And if you already created a bookcase and loved it, you're welcome to come back (and bring a friend!) — we'll have some new embellishments, including holiday-themed trinkets! Nestle your bookcase in your tree, or place it on a shelf for some bookish holiday decor. (Holiday theme is 100 percent optional; we'll have plenty of choices for decorating your shelf.)

This isn’t your typical book club where everyone reads the same book and talks about it. And actually, it’s not even really a club at all because you don’t have to worry if you miss a “meeting.” It’s just a chance to get together for some casual book chat; activities like book swaps or reading recommendations; and most importantly — a book-themed craft project!

You can design your tiny shelves to showcase some favorite reads or just create your dream reading nook, full of things that bring you joy. Or give your shelves a Christmas, Hanukkah or winter theme for a festive touch.

This workshop includes:

  • A 5-by-5-inch bookcase ready for you to customize and embellish.

  • Lots of tiny books! We’ll have some mini versions of actual books — contemporary and classic — and some with plain or patterned decorative covers.

  • Miniature decorative items like coffee mugs and picture frames.

  • Christmas-, Hanukkah and winter-themed trinkets like tiny string lights, mini trees, wreaths, menorahs and more!

  • A buffet of supplies so you can embellish your shelves; create items like potted plants or flowers in vases; or whatever else you can dream up to make your perfect space.

  • Plus, you’re welcome to bring any tiny trinkets or photos to add your own touches.

We’ll also have some book-related conversation starters while you’re crafting, and a few snacks to fuel our evening. Here’s to the first of what we hope are many bookish, crafty meet-ups!

Mandala Stone Dot Painting

Duration: 2½ hours
Ages: 13 to adult
Led by: Jody Jacobs Resnicow (@JJWebArt)

Come relax while creating your own mandala stone! No experience necessary! Jody Jacobs Resnicow is an artist who has been teaching in the local area at craft stores, cafes, community centers, senior centers, and privately for ages 5 to 100. (See photos of her work and classes on her Instagram account, @JJWebArt.)

To make your own unique, colorful mandala design on a smooth, organic river stone, Jody will walk you through some basic and some more complex dotting tool techniques. Select from a variety of stone shapes and sizes (necklace pendants, small canvases, and some small wood items may also be available). You will receive a simple meditation to practice at home with your stone. Additionally, it makes a great gift, art piece, or the beginning of a rock garden, inside or out.

  • Learn a brief history of mandalas and their meaning.

  • Household tools will be demonstrated so you can create at home what you learned, and mandala tools will be available for use while in the workshop.

  • You will intuitively choose your colors, and after, you will find out the meaning of the colors you chose.

Mini Bookcases

Mini Bookcases

Duration: 2 hours
Ages: 16 to adult
Led by: Locally Crafted Workshop (@createatlocallycrafted)

We’ve noticed that craft people often are also book people and that got us thinking … what if we combined two things we love? Introducing … LCW Book Club! 

This isn’t your typical book club where everyone reads the same book and talks about it. And actually, it’s not even really a club at all because you don’t have to worry if you miss a “meeting.” It’s just a chance to get together for some casual book chat; activities like book swaps or reading recommendations; and most importantly — a book-themed craft project!

We’re starting our first meeting strong by making mini bookcases. You can design your shelves to commemorate some favorite reads or just create your dream reading nook, full of things that bring you joy.

This workshop includes:

  • A 5-by-5-inch bookcase ready for you to customize and embellish.

  • Lots of tiny books! We’ll have some mini versions of actual books — contemporary and classic — and some with plain or patterned decorative covers.

  • Miniature decorative items like coffee mugs and picture frames.

  • A buffet of supplies so you can embellish your shelves; create items like potted plants or flowers in vases; or whatever else you can dream up to make your perfect space.

  • Plus, you’re welcome to bring any tiny trinkets or photos to add your own touches. 

We’ll also have some book-related conversation starters while you’re crafting, and a few snacks to fuel our evening. Here’s to the first of what we hope are many bookish, crafty meet-ups!

  • Learn how to make some quick stitches to form a pumpkin shape.

  • Stuff your pumpkin to optimum squishiness.

Meet and Make: A Women's Craft Social

Duration: 2 hours
Ages: 18+
Led by: Locally Crafted Workshop (@createatlocallycrafted)

We’ve seen the connections that crafters are making spontaneously in our workshops, so we thought, “why not do it on purpose?” Making friends as an adult can be … tricky, but it’s a lot easier when you’re bonding over a fun, creative activity.

And that’s the goal behind our Meet and Make workshops. Our first one was a wonderful evening of crafting and connecting, so we'd like to continue to meet and make every other month or so. We invite you to come alone or bring a friend or two for some low-key crafting and chatting.

We'll do a quick (non-scary, non-embarrassing) icebreaker so we can all get to know each other. Then we’ll provide a simple craft project that you can accomplish while holding a conversation — at this session, our co-owner, Stacey, will teach the basics of mosaics, and everyone will create a pair of custom coasters. Enjoy a drink and a light snack, too.

This workshop is open to women ages 18+.

Knitting Next Steps: Magic Loop
Sep
17

Knitting Next Steps: Magic Loop

Duration: 2½ hours
Ages: 16+
Led by: Becky Sher (@createatlocallycrafted)

If you’ve been knitting for a while, you may have heard of Magic Loop, a technique that allows you to knit small-circumference projects in the round on a single long, circular needle. OK, that’s a lot of words. Basically, it’s a fun way to knit sleeves, socks, cup cozies, plush toys, mittens and all kinds of other things without using fiddly double-pointed needles. Magic Loop is a great tool to have in your knitting toolbox, and as a bonus, it will kind of make you feel like a magician. Plus, if socks are on your knitting to-do list, this technique is a great first step.

In this workshop, you’ll learn everything you need to know to confidently use Magic Loop. We’ll get started on a simple cup cozy pattern, so you can practice the technique on an actual project. You’ll learn how to cast on and get started (the hardest part of Magic Loop, TBH) and how to move from round to round. And we’ll discuss the (very few) things that might trip you up and how to avoid them.

NOTE: This is not a learn-to-knit workshop. You should be at least a confident beginner, able to cast on, knit and purl without a lot of assistance. But advanced knitters who have never tried the technique are absolutely encouraged to attend too!

All materials will be provided, including a 40-inch circular needle with interchangeable tips (a $17 value). That means that you can purchase other tips in different needle sizes for future Magic Loop projects. (Don’t worry, it will all become clear.)

Table space will be available, along with a few basic supplies like scissors, colored pencils and glue sticks, if you forget something. And feel free to bring a snack if that’s how you roll.

If you don’t have a project in progress but want to see what it’s all about, our Bead Bar will be open for business. For $12, it’s an all-you-can-bead situation, with a huge buffet of beads and basic bracelet-making supplies. We'll have some cute fall beads if you'd like to make a seasonal stack.
