ABOUT THE CREATIVE NEST
The Creative Nest is a Boston-based pop-up craft bar founded by Tiffany, a lifelong explorer of creative hobbies. Inspired by hands-on experiences from fake food workshops in Japan to leather crafting in Taiwan, Tiffany created The Creative Nest as a fun, low-pressure space for people to try something new. Featuring interactive stations, The Creative Nest brings DIY joy to parties, markets, and events — no experience required, just a love for getting a little crafty.
