Crafternoon is an opportunity to hang out with likeminded crafters and work on your projects, maybe get some tips, and definitely get inspired!
Bring your favourite craft supplies or a project on the go. We'll set you up at a table, and you can craft the afternoon away! There will be snacks, and friends new and old. Admission is "pay what you can", and this event is open to members and non-members of Ritchie.
“I love Crafternoon! Such a special time to enjoy crafts, hang out in my community, and make new friends! I can’t recommend it enough!”
Registration guarantees you a friendly reminder email a few days out, but is otherwise no obligation. Things come up, we get it!
Crafternoon is a low barrier way to spend some time creating for you, in a friendly and safe environment, with rad folks who also love crafting.
NEW THIS YEAR
Thanks for all your feedback over the years! We listened, and are implementing two changes for 2025!
More frequent—watch for Crafternoon dates every 2 months
We’ll have supplies for zine-making, collaging, card making! Just show up!
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Any and all type of crafts and crafters; no special artistic experience required
Folks who are looking for a craft community, and who value safe and accessible spaces.
Crafters who want to get some work done on a project while they make a new friend.
WHAT TO BRING
A mask; these are required in the crafting space to help keep us all safe
Your own supplies or project to work on.
Arts and crafts supplies for our Swap Table! You are welcome to take items from the table, even if you didn't bring any. Anything leftover at the end of the day will be donated to the Reuse Centre. No garbage please.
We are an environmentally minded Community League, so we ask that you bring your own refillable water bottle or cup.
Cash or card, "pay what you can" admission is payable by either at the door (minimum $5).
“My first time at Crafternoon was really positive! A relaxed, friendly atmosphere which felt comparison and judgement free! I met some really nice people and I’m looking forward to the next one! 😃 Thank you for welcoming me.”
