Beading with My Besties: A Galentine's Crafting Event

Join us for an elevated Galentine’s craft night designed for connection, creativity, and a little sparkle. Guided by Emma Neuhaus, owner of Heart & Craft, you and your bestie(s) will learn beading basics and create your own custom necklace (or two!) using a curated assortment of freshwater pearls, crystal beads, and charms to take home at the end of the evening.

Sip your favorite BYOB beverage and peruse a delicious Dirty Soda Bar (for the mocktail girlies!) from while you bead and unwind. Refreshments will be served as well, keeping you nourished while you craft! Beyond the jewelry, you’ll leave with new skills to continue beading on your own, access to valuable learning resources, and a handmade keepsake that is guaranteed to impress.

This is your invitation to disconnect from the noise, reconnect with yourself (and your besties), and celebrate friendship in style. Let’s party ✨
