Welcome to Open Studio Night at Fisk Avenue DIY Experience! For these events, you can arrive any time between the hours listed to start your project. The shop will close at 8PM, so just plan to arrive with enough time to complete your project based on the estimated time frame for each project below! Projects will not be started if you arrive after 7PM, and you will be asked to transfer to a different night if you arrive too late to begin. We will have six different projects available for this event, and our project catalog rotates to give you more options every class. Read project descriptions below and take a look at some images of previous completed projects!
