Looking for a relaxing and creative space to work on your jewelry and craft projects? **Table Crafts** might be the perfect place for you!

**Table Crafts meet each Wednesday from 1-4 p.m.**

These open shop sessions offer a casual, collaborative environment where you can bring your own project — or just your curiosity — and enjoy a few hours of hands-on crafting with help and inspiration from fellow members.

**What Can You Work On?**
Our members explore a wide range of jewelry and fiber techniques, including:

* **Beading:** stringing, peyote stitch (even/odd count, tubular, twisted), brick stitch, herringbone, Cellini spiral, netting, loom work, and more
* **Kumihimo:** the ancient Japanese braiding technique
* **Viking Knit:** wire weaving for bracelets and chains
* **Chaining:** simple and advanced wire chain-making techniques

Never tried these before? Come to a session, watch others work, ask questions, or look up tutorials on YouTube. It’s a great way to get inspired.

**How it Works**
These sessions are **member-led and collaborative**, not formal classes. A typical session might include someone asking:
“I saw this project on Pinterest — can someone show me how it’s done?”
That’s often how new group projects or informal workshops get started!

**What to Expect**
· A **supportive, social atmosphere** where members learn from each other
· No teacher fees – we’re all here to share knowledge
· Occasionally, group projects or spontaneous mini-classes
· Materials available for purchase (limited selection)
· You’re welcome to bring your own tools and supplies

**Fees and Membership**
· **$50/year membership fee** (calendar year) Go to https://tampabayrockclub.org/membership to sign up.
· **$10 lab fee per 3-hour session** — helps cover studio utilities
· No additional teacher fees
