Craftopia: Volunteer Packing Party @ Craftopia
Sep 27 @ 5:00 pm

Join us once a month to help prepare and pack up craft kits. These kits are donated free of charge to the Tacoma Public Library. The libraries then distribute them to the community so people of all ages can learn new skills and explore their creative side. Packing parties include prepping and stuffing of supplies into ziplock bags. We make 300 kits each month, so prepare for lots of repetitive motion. Light refreshments are available, but feel free to bring food/drink for yourself.
RSVPs not required but always appreciated at www.craftopiawa.com

Craftopia: Wood Burning Open Studio @ Craftopia
Sep 29 @ 5:00 pm

It’s getting hot in here, so come and burn some wood. Our wood burning open studio session is relatively unstructured time to play around with our pyrography machines. We will start with a quick tutorial of how to use the machines, the different tips, and good techniques, as well as some safety information. Then we will set you free with your wood to let your imagine run wild. Instructors will be on hand to answer questions and help out the entire time, but what you create will be up to you. For safety, this class is ages 16+. Under 16 may attend with prior approval.
