At 1450 Ocean: Second Saturday Free Craft Lounge: August 10

Learn basic knitting stitches or bring your own projects - all practices welcome - and hang out with us for a fun craft session. Music and snacks! Stitch something with the hand-cranked sewing machines of SewCranky or make a miscellany of papercrafts with Marcus Kuiland-Nazario. 

Come to 1450 Ocean on the second Saturday of every month to work on your projects, take in a mini-workshop, share your expertise, and stretch your craft-legs! Each time we'll be showcasing a free taste of our craft workshops - come often and bring your friends!
