CRAVE AT THE MAGIC SHOP
A Monthly Craft + Conversation Gathering
Crave at the Magic Shop is a small, intimate creative gathering designed for connection, conversation, and hands-on making. Hosted around a shared table for six, this monthly experience invites people to slow down, work with their hands, and meet new friends through guided art activities.
This is not a class where you’re trying to “get it right.”
It’s about showing up, making something, and enjoying the people around the table.

WHAT TO EXPECT
February: We’ll explore marbling and create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces—perfect for making Valentine’s Day cards. This experience focuses on flow, chance, and letting the materials lead.
March: A vibrant, color-forward month working with alcohol inks to create expressive coasters. We’ll play with air, saturation, and bold color without overthinking the outcome.
April: A playful fluid-painted peeps 3D paint party. This month is all about experimentation, surprise, and a little joyful mess.
May: Moss art panels focused on textured greenery and natural elements. We’ll explore organic forms and bring a sense of nature into the studio.
