Pottery, woodworking, knitting and repair nights. Make something real with your hands.

Pick your thing

Pottery, Woodworking, Knitting and crochet, Craft night, Repair night and Electronics and 3D printing.

PotteryWheel or hand building at a local studio. Your first bowl will be wonky, and you will keep it anyway.
WoodworkingA shared shop, a simple project and someone who knows the tools. Leave with a cutting board you made.
Knitting and crochetBring what you are working on and stitch while you talk. Beginners get a patient teacher.
Craft nightCandles, cards, wreaths, jewelry. One project a night, with all the supplies on the table.
Repair nightBring a broken thing and fix it with help. Toasters, bikes, zippers, lamps.
Electronics and 3D printingSolder a kit, program a small board or print your first 3D part, with help at every table.

Why it works here

Studios and shops charge by the seat, and materials are bought for exact numbers. Paying to join makes sure the seats are used.

There is one clear project, the tools and materials are sorted, and someone who knows the craft is at the table.

No makers and diy plans on the board yet.

Pick a project people can finish in one session, list what is included and what to bring, and keep the group small.
