This group is for our Studio creative community\, but is also open to the general public. \nBring creative work in progress to share and/or get feedback or technical help on. You can also bring your own project to work on during the group\, or a small “make and take” for the group to work on. \nThis group will be held in our main workshop\, which includes access to our coffee/tea/water station\, high speed Wi-Fi\, big screen monitor\, Bluetooth stereo\, and any additional art or craft supplies needed. \nNOTE: As of December 2025\, this group is now free of charge\, but donations to help us cover rent and supplies are always appreciated!
