Whether you’re a crafting connoisseur or a hobbyist looking to dabble, or just need something to pass the time, this is your chance to craft your heart out with our stocked supplies. You can choose from a treasure trove of materials and tools to create whatever masterpiece your imagination conjures!
Bring your ideas to life in our relaxed and fun atmosphere! Got a Pinterest project gathering dust? Or perhaps you just want to let loose and see what happens when you pair yarn with buttons? Here’s your chance to find out! The best part? You don’t have to clean up your mess – we’ve got that covered!
What to Expect:
– Access to a variety of supplies that are just waiting to be turned into something fabulous.
– You won’t have instruction but friendly crafting enthusiasts on hand to offer tips, tricks, and moral support (and maybe some laughs!).
– A warm, welcoming environment where all crafty souls can connect, collaborate, and create!
Just remember that some crafts take longer to make so the time you have available to craft will need to match the craft you choose. There is also a premium add-on option for complex or larger projects.
So, grab your friends, and let your crafty side run wild! Because at Open Crafting, the only limit is your imagination (and our supply stock). Don’t miss out! We are limited to 24 crafters at any given time, feel free to contact the studio if you have a larger number of crafters to ensure space is available.
