About this Event
Bring whatever you've been meaning to finish — the hem you've been ignoring, the quilt top in the closet, the jacket that needs a patch — and spend an evening making progress in good company.
Hand sewing, machine sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery, mending. Whatever you're working on, bring it.
Henry leads the sewing and fabric arts program at Natural Creativity, and on the first Thursday of each month he's opening the studio. You'll have sewing machines, a well-stocked supply of fabric and notions, and someone on hand when you get stuck.
All ages, novice to expert. If you've never threaded a machine, we'll show you. If you're mid-project and just want somewhere to work with other people around, that works too. The making and the company matter in roughly equal measure.
What to bring: a project if you have one, or just yourself. We'll have materials for anyone starting fresh.
Cost: Free to register. Suggested price is $10 per person, with a $30 family cap. No one is turned away for lack of funds. Cash or Venmo (@NaturalCreativityCenter) at the door.
Where: 3820 The Oak Road, Philadelphia (East Falls). Free parking on site.
When: Second Thursdays, 6:30–8:30 PM — October 8, November 12, and December 10. We're testing this out, so come tell us what you'd want more of.
Children are welcome with a parent or caregiver staying to supervise — we won't have separate childcare, and there are needles and machines in the room.
Natural Creativity is a self-directed learning community for young people ages 5–18 in Northwest Philadelphia. Your contribution supports our programs.
