If you have dusty scrapbooks and knitting shoved into the back of the closet you are not alone.
How about some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing again.
New people to work with and new ideas to try will motivate you to pull out your art. Get started with these FREE options.
TAT - Tuesdays at the Tavern
An open group of friendly crafters meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Warren Tavern.
Bring sewing, knitting, paper crafts, or whatever you are working on.
Make new friends as you make progress on your project.
Sometimes there is a group project to benefit the community. We try to stimulate everyone's creativity with occasional enrichment workshops and "show and tell" by members.
Everyone is welcome!
