About this Event
Join us for Craft Nights, happening twice a month on the 2nd and last Monday - a creative space to unwind, explore, and make something with your hands.
We’ll alternate between two partners: Nelise Bey’s natural dye workshops, where you can experiment with indigo and other plant-based colors, and Kimberly Lewis’s guided artmaking sessions. Kimberly’s approach invites you to reconnect with yourself through creating, offering hands-on projects that encourage experimentation, storytelling, and letting go of perfection.
THE SCHEDULE
MONDAY, JUNE 15: Natural Dye with Nelise Bey
MONDAY, JUNE 29: Sun Prints with Kimberly Lewis
Create one-of-a-kind prints using sunlight, shadows, and real natural materials collected from the park. Leaves, flowers, and found textures are arranged on light-sensitive paper to reveal soft silhouettes shaped by the sun.
MONDAY, JULY 13: Natural Dye with Nelise Bey
MONDAY, JULY 27: Summer Window Catcher with Kimberly Lewis
Create a glowing window hanging using recycled materials, tissue paper, and other translucent materials. Layer color and texture in response to the summer sunlight, sky, and the shifting moods of summer. Each participant will walk away with a personal light and color collage.
MONDAY, AUGUST 10: Felt Park Pendants with Kimberly Lewis
A one-night summer camp–style making experience at Domino Park. Personalize your own felt pendant using felt shapes, letter stickers, glue, and simple stitch details to build a small wearable or hangable keepsake.
MONDAY, AUGUST 24: Natural Dye with Nelise Bey
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14: Natural Dye with Nelise Bey
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28: River Ink Flow Prints with Kimberly Lewis
Explore the movement of color through fluid ink painting inspired by the East River. No painting experience is required, participants will tilt, blow, and layer inks, allowing water and pigment to move like natural currents.
ABOUT OUR PARTNERS
Nelise is a textile artist, natural dyer, and printmaker living and creating in Brooklyn, NY. Her aesthetic is colorful and pattern-filled, a play on her Caribbean roots. Nelise works mostly with silks and other natural fibers, dyeing and silkscreening them. Her work is tied to the earth, and inspiration often calls when she’s outdoors hiking or foraging in Brooklyn and New York State.
Kimberly Lewis is a Brooklyn-based artist, designer, and creative disruptor who believes perfection is boring and mess is magic. Molded by her creative studies at Pratt and FIT, she has spent 20+ years bending the edges of what creativity should look like, guiding both adults and kids to unlearn, reimagine, and express themselves freely through art, story, and beautiful chaos.
