Beginner beading: Fidget time

Learn to make pony bead fidget toys.

New teacher alert!

Come meet our fifth founder and facilitator of fidget fun (that's a lot of FFFFs!), Sab Juhaszs! They will help us get our fingers around the hyperfocus of the day, creating fidget toys from pony beads. A lot of you have asked for a beading workshop, but we figured that before we start stringing teeny, tiny glass beads together we would start with something a bit easier. All materials are provided, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Poetry and painting workshop

This is a two-part workshop: first we paint intuitively, letting go of “getting it right.” Then we write, using the painting as material. You’ll leave with a small painting and a poem — or at least the start of one.

Junk journaling

Come junk journal with us!

We will supply blank journals and have lots of materials for collages. If you have a drawer of old tickets, stickers, photos, and brochures that you have always intedned to lovingly create a scrapbook with, this is their moment to shine! It's not perfect, but it's fun, messy, and the result is usually way more exciting than a carefully curated scrapbook. Come glue, stamps, draw, and sew with us!

What the week left behind

Bring something small from your week — a text, a grocery list, a stray sentence someone said to you. We’ll turn it into a painting, then turn the painting back into words. No painting or writing experience needed. Just bring a scrap and an open hand.

This is a two-part workshop: first we paint intuitively, letting go of “getting it right.” Then we write, using the painting as material and your original fragment as a seed. You’ll leave with a small painting and a poem — or at least the start of one,
