Our Craft, Mix & Mingle is an interactive, crafty social to get 20-somethings to connect with others through hands-on crafting. This event is parts-speed friending event, crafting club and social mixer. We designed it to be all three. It’s a way for you to unwind on a sunday afternoon, connect with new people through different creative activities.

We'll provide the supplies and instructions for each craft, you provide the creativity and willingness to connect! Every 40 minutes, we'll hit the reset button and you'll be at a new table crafting and socializing with a whole new group of people.

You'll leave the event with three handmade pieces and new connections 👀
