Outdoor patio with wooden tables and yellow chairs in Downtown Durham NC, planter boxes with green plants, parking lot with cars, brick building with large windows, trees in the background, clear sky.

Four people sitting on a couch and a chair. The person on the left is knitting, the others are working on needlecrafts. There are drinks, a box, and knitting supplies on a glass table in front of them, with plants and windows in the background.

Assorted balls of yarn in white, orange, black, blue, and beige colors, with some tassels and a piece of white rope making a rainbow craft project, all placed on a dark wooden surface.

Three nights a week, we’re turning a corner of ReCity’s coworking space into a craft-focused makerspace, with:

craft studio time with access to skilled artisans
crafting and small biz classes
community events for all of Durham's makers

Our vision includes state-of-the-art equipment, the best crafting supplies, and great wages for teachers. We’re looking for some extra help from people who want this space in Durham just as much as we do.
