Always Be Creating Fort Collins

An Art Play Date, or a Crafternoon, is about creating in community. Bring a project you'd like to work on and do that while we all work on our own projects, have snacks maybe, and a nice chat.

We'll do this every month on the second Sunday of the month at the creative reuse store Always Be Creating. While you're at Crafternoon, you are free to shop and take a 10% discount off your purchase!

Please RSVP. A donation of $5 is required, with the proceeds going to keeping the store open.

Mostly importantly: Remember to bring a project with you!

Whether you love art journaling, junk journaling, or creative collage, this club is for you!

Meet other journal lovers in a relaxed, inspiring space at Always Be Creating. Each session features a fun theme or technique, plus plenty of open time to work on your own pages. Bring your journal and favorite supplies (and your imagination!) — we’ll provide the space, inspiration, and some communal goodies.

This month, we'll be working with soft neutrals, white-on-white layering, gesso washes, and subtle textures. Round up your scraps, bring your gesso, adhesives, journal, and a paintbrush, plus whatever other supplies you'll want to use (pens, paint, scissors, collage materials, etc.). Brown ink and a sponge for distressing are always nice, too. We'll even have a wee goody bag for you to use during our session!
