Craft Advocacy Group Thu 2/4 6 PM - 8 PM 455 Caton Rd, Lumberton, NC 28360, USA

View Map Add To Calendar

3 weeks away

Description: Do you have a craft you can't seem to find time to finish? Do you have a new craft project you've been meaning to start, but can never find the time? This group is for you! Join other busy, crafty people once a month for craft advocacy, a scheduled time for you to work on the project you never have time for, start the one you can't seem to get started, or help someone else finish theirs.

This is not a class, there will be no one teaching you how to do any particular craft. This is an opportunity for you to schedule some time to relax and be productive. This group is open to everyone, and there is no fee. We are providing you time and space to work on your craft, you are responsible for providing your own supplies and materials. There are electrical outlets and tables for setting up sewing machines if needed. Some nights we may have to move into a smaller room due to classes or events being offered. If you will need to bring in your sewing machine or have a large area to measure, cut, or piece together fabrics, please call ahead to make sure we are meeting in a room that can accommodate your crafting needs.

We will meet once a month, on the first Thursday of every month, from 6 - 8 pm. Bring your craft, bring your materials, bring a friend!

For more information, please call 910-671-3276 or email kbritt@ncsu.edu.

Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made at least one week prior to meeting by calling 910-671-3276.
