Stop by during store hours, choose your project, and start creating! Walk-in guests are welcome to enjoy our DIY Creative Bars when space permits.
Scheduled classes, workshops, and reservations take priority, so you may need to wait for a workspace. Staff assistance may be unavailable during busy periods or scheduled activities.
