About this Event
At Mechanics' Hall, we're inspired by our founders' vision to ignite a passion for knowledge, ideas, and the arts within our community.
Our Mechanics' Hall Crafting Group is a vibrant space for creativity and connection.
Whether you're a knitting enthusiast, an embroidery aficionado, a paper folding master, or simply love sketching, we invite you to share your skills and ideas with fellow makers.
Explore the art of textiles, paper, and more, all within the welcoming atmosphere of our library.
What to Expect:
Join us every first Wednesday of the month, from July to December, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., for a delightful crafting session. Each meeting will be hosted by a volunteer who shares your love for crafting, ensuring a supportive and fun environment. Bring your materials and let your creativity shine.
