New Monthly Feral Craft Club!
Unleash your raw creativity with the Feral Craft Club. We're a collective of bold and defiant makers, crafting modern, alternative and rebellious crafts. This isn't your grandma's craft club. No apologies, just fearless crafting. Feral Craft Club is inspired by the Sh*tty Craft Club by Sam Reece which is a “uniquely empowering guide that allows burnt-out, pressured people to accept their imperfections and find inner calm with whatever sh*tty thing they can make.”
This monthly meet-up is a safe place to make, craft, and let go of life's demands. We welcome every level of creator from those who are curious to those who have way too many art supplies laying around (I see you.) Expect to glue rhinestones to trash, make grown-up friendship bracelets, snarky cross stitch, and or a fleet of origami stars– every month we will do something different! Join us for mocktail nights, punk rock night, and stupid award night.
The next session takes place on Monday, June 15th at 6:00 PM at the Cottage, 700 Zucksville Road, Easton PA. Future sessions will take place on the 3rd Monday of each Month. Ages 21+ BYO. There is a $20 suggested donation per class for materials. Register now, as space is limited.
Solstice Magic: Firefly Sunprints in the Woods!
As the days reach their longest, join us at the FAAS Cottage for a unique Summer Solstice celebration. Our Firefly Sunprint Workshop invites young artists (ages 4 and up) to explore the intersection of art and nature. We’ll start with a short foraging walk through the cottage grounds to find the perfect ferns and leaves. Using a historical photographic process called cyanotype, children will arrange their finds alongside firefly silhouettes to create "night-sky" prints using only the sun's rays! While our prints dry, we’ll enjoy seasonal solstice snacks before adding the finishing "glow" to our fireflies with mixed-media gold and yellow markers. It’s a perfect afternoon of woodland exploration and creative discovery. The workshop takes place on Saturday, June 27th from 12:00 to 2:30 PM at the Cottage, 700 Zucksville Road, Easton PA. It is free and open to the public. Snacks and materials will be provided.
