Tacoma Arts and Crafts Group

Join us at in the bright, spacious meeting room at the University Place Pierce County Library for an easygoing afternoon of crafting. Bring a project you’re working on, or just bring yourself—there are always plenty of materials to share.

When you enter the library’s main doors, look to the right for the large meeting room. We’ll start setting up at 1:00 PM and have the space until 5:00 PM, giving us plenty of time to create and then tidy up together. It's spacious enough to bring sewing machines and projects that need to spread out.

Parking: Free covered parking is available beneath the library—just drive around to the lower street and look for the “Free Public Parking” sign. There’s also limited timed parking out front.

This gathering is free for dues‑paying members, and a great way to meet the group if you’re curious about joining.

Our “Cards, cards, cards!” exchange is getting a joyful reboot! This time we’re not just swapping cards… we’re making them. Each month through the end of 2026 we will gather for a card making event, each with its own theme and inspirations. Some will have a fee associated with it, but this one is FREE!
*Please note, the date and location are different than what was originally announced. See location below.

September Event: Pick a Palette Challenge

Come play with color in a fun, creative challenge! You’ll choose (or randomly draw) a curated palette packet and make a card inspired by those colors. Each packet will include coordinated papers and a surprise element. We’ll also have supplemental papers available, and some card bases and basics.
Prefer your own colors? Wonderful. You’re welcome to bring a palette packet you assembled at home and work from that instead. The whole idea is simply to explore what happens when you start with a color story and let your creativity wander.
