Come hang with Craft Haus for a relaxed Sunday afternoon of crafting in the park.

Bring whatever you’re currently working on—or come without a project and make something with us. The event is free to attend, and we’ll have a small selection of craft projects available for purchase if you want something to work on.

Think of it as a craft picnic: bring your own food, drinks, snacks, blankets, chairs, and, of course, your craft. Come for an hour or stay for the afternoon. Meet other crafty people, work on your projects, and enjoy a low-key Sunday outside.

No experience necessary, no pressure to make anything—just come hang out and craft with us.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
