Join us for a welcoming, hands-on crafting event for adults who want to make time for creativity and community—whether you're a lifelong maker or just starting to explore.
Bring your own project or try something new with our materials and tools. Not sure where to start? Your ticket includes a crochet or embroidery starter kit to get you going. While there’s no set agenda or instructor for these meetups, we promise a supportive, inclusive environment where we help each other, share ideas and enjoy the creative process together.
Tickets are $14 per person and include your choice of a crochet or embroidery starter kit to take home. We will meet on the covered porch of the Fuller House on the BAYarts campus, located at 28795 Lake Road in Bay Village, Ohio. After your first even you'll receive a coupon code for $2 additional ticket purchases throughout the summer.
Neon Heron Craft Community is a master’s thesis project produced by Marissa Siebert, a candidate in the MA Creative Business Leadership program at Savannah College of Art and Design. The project itself explores how open-ended studio experiences and creative community spaces can help adults build confidence and connection through crafting.
Proceeds from this event will support the creation of a Sensory Garden at BAYarts, a gesture of thanks to the organization for generously sharing their space with us this summer.
Important details:
- These events are adults only. While we love kids, this project is specifically exploring adult crafting habits.
- Dress for the weather - we’ll be outside. Most meetups will take place on a covered porch on the BAYarts campus. In the event of extreme weather, we will communicate with attendees about space relocation or rescheduling.
Interested in helping? We are looking for dedicated "experts" to be present at each meetup. If you are skilled at needle arts or crafting in general and feel confident in helping others problem solve, let us know! Reach out to Marissa at neonheroncraft@gmail.com.
