(Please note: This is a two-session workshop — Thursdays, Jan. 22 and Jan. 29, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. both evenings.)

It’s always the right time to learn to knit! Here’s why:

• It’s portable, so you can take it anywhere you need to stay busy.

• It’s satisfying. There are few things better than saying “I made it!” when some compliments your hat, shawl or sweater.

• It’s meditative. Once you learn how to do it, you’ll be surprised how calming it can be.

• It’s community-building. Everyone wants to chat when you’ve got needles in your hand.

Join Becky Sher, co-owner of Locally Crafted Workshop and a knitter for more than two decades, to learn the basics of the craft in two sessions. (There might be a tiny bit of homework between sessions, but it’s the fun kind!) Whether you’re an absolute beginner or refreshing your skills, you’ll leave ready to tackle your first project (in a future workshop with us, of course!). You’ll learn:

• The basics of choosing yarn and needles for a project

• How to cast on stitches to begin knitting

• How to perform the basic knit and purl stitches

• How to increase and decrease to add shaping to a project

• How to cast off when you’re finished a project

Workshop includes your own pair of circular knitting needles to take home and yarn for practice. Please bring your favorite tote bag, because it's now your knitting bag. ;)

This workshop is open to crafters ages 14 and older.

Here’s why we (and lots of other people, it seems) love junk journaling:

• It’s a great way to preserve memories, from the big milestones to the everyday moments.

• It’s a low-pressure, low-cost way to get creative, try new techniques and use fun craft supplies. (Time to stop hoarding the “good” stickers!)

• It can be solitary or social, depending on how you like to craft.

Sound good? Then make 2026 the year you start a junk journal, and let us help. This casual, creative workshop is for both brand-new journalers and longtime journal junkies, so no matter where you are in your journaling journey, we hope you’ll join us.

This workshop includes:

• A journal (if you want one)! We’ll provide a black, hardcover journal with blank pages. If you prefer to bring your own, that’s fine with us — you’ll pay a lower ticket price. If you’re brand-new, you can decorate your cover and start working on spreads inside. If you’re a seasoned journaler, you do you.

• A kit to take home with a few of our favorite journaling materials to use throughout the year.

• A buffet of craft supplies, including paper, stickers, washi tape, ephemera and much, much more. We’ll also have adhesives, scissors, pens, etc. And of course, BYOJ (Bring Your Own Junk).

• Two prints from our instant photo printer, if you’d like. You’ll send us photos and we’ll print on the spot.

• Prompts and ideas to get you started, including some January-appropriate spread themes. We’ll also share ideas for “junk” to collect so you’ll always have material for your journal.

You’re also welcome to bring supplies to share, though of course that’s not required.

Psst ... We plan to host regular, low-cost junk journaling meetups throughout the year, so if you need motivation to work on your spreads once you’ve started, keep an eye out for those.

This workshop is open to crafters ages 11 to adult. We’ve shared junk journaling with lots of tweens and teens, and they’ve loved it. So bring your crafty (older) kid along.

Have some fun setting your goals for the new year, the crafty way. Create a vision board that reflects your goals, dreams, or just all the things that bring you joy going into the new year.

You'll start with a blank board (a fresh slate for the new year!) and then choose from a huge buffet of craft supplies to build your board, including stickers, photos, washi tape, patterned paper, quotes, beads, postcards, and more. Fill every inch of your board with dreams and plans, or leave space to add as the year goes on. Your board can be neat and orderly, or chaotic and maximalist — the tone is totally up to you.

We’ll provide a few prompts and ideas, as well as a “word of the year” list if you want to center your board on a specific theme. This workshop can be whatever you’d like — a serious look at what you want to accomplish in 2026; a chance to play with materials and spark joy; or some combination of the two. Most of all, take a few moments just for yourself to ponder the year ahead!

This workshop is open to all ages (under 11 must be accompanied by an adult), so bring the family for a few hours of creativity and intention-setting.

It’s our first birthday! We’ve hosted more than 75 birthday parties since we opened in January 2025, and now it’s time for us to throw one for ourselves.

We decided the best way to celebrate was by inviting our community to join us for one of our favorite events — Open Studio. These monthly workshops are full of family-friendly, open-ended projects, and this time, they’re all party- and celebration-themed. While you help us mark our big milestone, you’ll create some fun keepsakes to celebrate your family’s big days.

As with all of our Open Studio events, we invite you to stay for a few minutes, or hang out all day. Bring a friend, a kid, a partner or come alone. Crafters of all ages will find something fun to make, we’re sure of it. 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.

Our crafting stations will include:

• Special keepsakes to display for each birthday in your family.

• Fun decor items for a festive vibe on birthdays or any day.

• A collaborative community craft project that we can’t wait to share!

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 $15 in advance or $18 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.

We’re turning 1! In January, we’re celebrating a year of crafts, games and community, and we’d love to mark the occasion with you.

We hosted our first Family Bingo Night in November, and it was a great night of family fun and community-building. So when we started thinking about ways to celebrate our birthday, another bingo night seemed like the perfect thing. Bring your own dinner and we’ll supply water, birthday treats and prizes.

Doors open at 5:30 for dinner and mingling, and bingo will begin at 6:15. Each player needs a ticket — you’ll receive 10 cards per ticket, so we can play all night! 

All ages are welcome — we had a wonderful mix of players last time. So bring your family, friends and neighbors to enjoy a fun and friendly evening.

Whether you learned Mah Jongg in one of our workshops or you've been playing for years we hope you'll join us for drop-in community games in our workshop space on the second Thursday of every month. 

Please note: This is not a learn-to-play workshop! You should be familiar with the fundamental tenets of American Mah Jongg, including identifying suits, how to read the card and basic gameplay. You do not need to be an expert by any means, but we will not be teaching new players at these events. Of course, friendly assistance is always provided.

All levels are welcome, as long as you know the basics — when you register, you’ll be asked about your experience so we can plan tables accordingly. Even if your only experience (so far!) is in our workshops or some casual lessons with friends, there is a spot for you at our tables.

If you have a card, please bring it. We’ll have cards to lend if you don’t have one. We will provide tile sets, though you're welcome to bring yours to share.

Snacks will be provided. Obviously.

After two fantastic sessions making mini bookcases, we’re ready to move on to our next bookish craft project: Bedazzled book covers! Look, you may not think you’re into rhinestones and bling, but in this case, you’re wrong. Trust us! You won’t believe how much fun it is to gemify your favorite reads, especially surrounded by other book lovers in our welcoming workshop space. With the right supplies in front of you, it’s an easy, social craft, and soon, no book (or anything else) will be safe from sparkles. 

We’ll provide:

• All the tools you’ll need, including wax picking pencils, gem trays and glue, plus tips on how to use them.

• An entire set of thousands of rhinestones just for you! You’ll take home your set, which should be plenty to bedazzle at least a dozen books, probably more. You’re welcome to bring more than one book to the workshop (see details below) — the gems are yours, so you can use as many as you like.

• Extra rhinestones in different sizes for added flair. (We’ll explain when and how you might use them.)

• Snacks, drinks and a room full of other book lovers to chat with.

Important: YOU will provide the book(s)! Here are a few tips on choosing a book for optimal bedazzling success:

• Hardcovers and paperbacks both work great. 

• Look for a book with good-sized chunks of color and simple shapes. Intricate designs will be tough; the gems are quite small, but not tiny enough to create extremely precise lines and shapes.

• It’s up to you which parts you’ll bedazzle — just the title; specific artwork or graphics; random parts of an illustration; or the WHOLE DARN THING! Keep that in mind when you’re choosing.

• You’ll have an easier time with book titles set in chunkier typefaces, as opposed to very thin fonts or script letters.

• Your book doesn’t have to be fiction! Choose a favorite nonfiction book, a crafting book (!!) or a children’s book that your family loves. Bedazzled Dr. Seuss has our hearts beating faster. 

Bring your book club buddies, your neighbors or even your teenage book lover to this evening of sparkly, bookish fun.

Mini bookcases have been a huge hit with everyone — thank you to those who’ve already joined us to make them. We thought it would be fun to squeeze in one more bookcase session before the holidays, and this time, we’re welcoming book and miniature lovers of all ages (well, 7 and up). We recently did this project at a mini camp, and we loved watching kids get creative with their shelves. They didn’t want to stop adding bits and pieces to their bookcases. We'd love to see families creating together!

In this workshop, you can design your shelves to commemorate some favorite reads or just create your dream reading nook, full of things that bring you joy. We’ll provide winter- and holiday-themed options, as well as kid-friendly embellishments (though anyone is welcome to use them!).

This workshop includes:

• 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, picture frames, food, toys, holiday decor 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. 

This is a perfect family activity, and a lovely way to spend a few relaxing hours during the busy holiday season.

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.

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

• 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).

It’s time again for one of our favorite nights of the month — bring your current project and join us for a few hours of creativity and camaraderie.

This FREE event is open to crafters of all kinds, so bring your in-progress project (or one you’ve been trying to find time to begin), and join our crafting community. It’s a the-more-the-merrier situation for sure.

Whether it’s knitting, papercrafts, junk journaling, needlework or jewelry-making, we’ve got a place for you in our space. 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.

Joining us with your own project is FREE, but if you think you’re coming, grab a ticket so we know how many people to expect. Can't wait to craft with you!

(Please note: This is a one-session workshop — a Mah Jongg bootcamp, if you will!)

Crack! Bam! Dot! Come learn the ancient Chinese game of Mah Jongg (American style). This one-day workshop introduces beginners to the basic rules and simple strategies necessary to master the game.

During the first part of the afternoon, we will learn the basics of identifying tiles, identifying hands on the card, and learning the basic rules. Then we'll practice playing the game with other beginners. By the end of the class you should feel comfortable joining a low-stakes game.

Enrollment will include a National Mah Jongg league card (a $15 value that you'll use any time you play). And in true Mah Jongg tradition, snacks will be served!

This workshop is open to crafters ages 18 and older.

Duration: 90 minutes
Ages: 12 to adult

Let’s play bingo! Of course we love crafting, but opening our workshop space for games has been a lot of fun too. Join us for a night of family fun and community-building. And yes, there will be prizes, and some of them will be crafty. ;) Bring your own dinner and we’ll supply water and dessert. Doors open at 5:30 for dinner and mingling, and bingo will begin at 6:15. Each player needs a ticket — you’ll receive 10 cards per ticket, so we can play all night! 

All ages are welcome, so bring your family, friends and neighbors to enjoy a fun and friendly evening.

Duration: 2 hours
Ages: 14+

Whether you learned Mah Jongg in one of our workshops or you've been playing for years we hope you'll join us for drop-in community games in our workshop space on the second Thursday of every month. 

Please note: This is not a learn-to-play workshop! You should be familiar with the fundamental tenets of American Mah Jongg, including identifying suits, how to read the card and basic gameplay. You do not need to be an expert by any means, but we will not be teaching new players at these events. Of course, friendly assistance is always provided.

All levels are welcome, as long as you know the basics — when you register, you’ll be asked about your experience so we can plan tables accordingly. Even if your only experience (so far!) is in our workshops or some casual lessons with friends, there is a spot for you at our tables.

If you have a card, please bring it. We’ll have cards to lend if you don’t have one. We will provide tile sets, though you're welcome to bring yours to share.

Snacks will be provided. Obviously.
