Crafting Together. Inspired by Nature.
Crafting Together offers a welcoming space for people of all ages to explore nature-inspired art, learn traditional craft skills, and nurture their creative spirit.
This winter and spring, we are partnering with Verona Maker Space to bring our programs indoors and expand our offerings to include both adult workshops and caregiver & child art classes.
Join us to unwind, learn something new, and connect with others through the creative magic of nature.
*If you have any specific craft workshop requests (wet felt, needle felt, crochet, beeswax candles, eco printing/dyes, etc), would like to start a weekday homeschool handicrafts class, or looking for a private craft-along party for a group of friends, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
