Just Dads Presents: The Craft, Cup & Conversation

Just Dads has partnered with Makers Social and Teal Cow℠ to launch “The Craft, Cup, & Conversation” — a three-part series for fathers hosted at Makers Social, a creative DIY lounge and bar in Franklinton and an official sponsor and partner of Just Dads. Each session brings together a hands-on craft, dinner, drinks, and a live artist experience — anchored by The Room, the immersive listening format powered by Emmy Award-winning artist Tres Carter, in which guests hear a concept music in silent disco headphones infused with live conversation between the artist and audience.
Every ticket also includes the Just Dads Journal: A Guided Journal for Fathers — 365 days of prompts walking fathers through the story of who they were, who they are, and who they're still becoming. Each session in the series adds a new piece to carry inside it.
What's included at every session:
• Just Dads Journal (365 days of guided prompts)
• A hands-on craft, built at Makers Social
• Watershed Distillery cocktail session or tasting flight
• Full dinner
• Immersive listening experience with the featured artist (headphones and digital lyric booklet included)
