Crafternoon is an opportunity to hang out with likeminded crafters and work on your projects, maybe get some tips, and definitely get inspired!
Bring your favourite craft supplies or a project on the go. We'll set you up at a table, and you can craft the afternoon away! There will be snacks, and friends new and old. Admission is "pay what you can", and this event is open to members and non-members of Ritchie.
“I love Crafternoon! Such a special time to enjoy crafts, hang out in my community, and make new friends! I can’t recommend it enough!”
Registration guarantees you a friendly reminder email a few days out, but is otherwise no obligation. Things come up, we get it!
Crafternoon is a low barrier way to spend some time creating for you, in a friendly and safe environment, with rad folks who also love crafting.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Any and all type of crafts and crafters.
Folks who are looking for a craft community, and who value safe and accessible spaces.
Crafters who want to get some work done on a project while they make a new friend.
Heads up: Your photo might be taken to use in future Ritchie Community League and NLL marketing. Please inform a volunteer immediately if you have any concerns.
WHAT TO BRING
A mask; these are required in the crafting space to help keep us all safe
Your own supplies or project to work on. We do not provide materials or instruction.
Arts and crafts supplies for our Swap Table! You are welcome to take items from the table, even if you didn't bring any. Anything leftover at the end of the day will be donated to the Reuse Centre.
We are an environmentally minded Community League, so we ask that you bring your own refillable water bottle or cup.
Cash or card, "pay what you can" admission is payable by either at the door (minimum $5).
“My first time at Crafternoon was really positive! I was given the opportunity to volunteer which gave me a chance to get familiar and comfortable in a new space. A relaxed, friendly atmosphere which felt comparison and judgement free! I met some really nice people and I’m looking forward to the next one! 😃 Thank you for welcoming me.”
