let's craft and touch grass!
our summer event info, featured work from our members, and more on fun events around chicago from our friends.
Hellooooo crafters! ✨ Before we get into things, we’d like to say the Chicago Craft Club supports a free Palestine. 🇵🇸 For information on how to help end the ongoing genocide, please view this doc.
Summertime Chi is finallyyyyy here. Time to finally pick out your fav picnic blanket and hit the boulevards for some much needed crafting in the sun.
We’re also so excited for all the street markets and endless activities that always pop up this time of year. We recommend putting a shoutout in the group chat to see who wants to visit a neighborhood you’ve never been to, coffees in hand, armed with a budget ready to be blown on handmade/funky goods.
It’s time to gather and enjoy the company of our fellow Chicagoans as we finally receive the fruits of a long winter.
