Adult Craft Club meets on the second Tuesday of the month in the Maker Space, and we focus on a different craft each time.

For September, our meetup falls during Welcoming Week, so we thought it would be fun to do a cultural themed craft this time. You will learn how to create your own Filipino Subli hat, and if you're game, you might learn a few steps to go with it.

There will be a $10 fee to cover cost of materials, to be paid on the night.

Limited spots available, secure your slot through the link below!
