Craft steps out of the studio and into the hearts of Philadelphians with CraftNOW Create! This year organizers are creating 500 take-home kits filled with craft activities! These will be available for pick-up at various locations. On Saturday, November 7th, we will have an online virtual party with instructions from all of our contributors. Together, we will learn how to make monster heads in clay, dragonflies in wood, Swedish holiday gnomes and more. Activities are presented by the American Swedish Historical Museum, The Center for Art in Wood, The Clay Studio, Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, University of the Arts and Wild Hand.

Most projects are ideal for elementary-aged students. 

CraftNOW Create 2020 is sponsored by the Joseph Robert Foundation. Learn more about CraftNOW Create here: https://www.craftnowphila.org/craftnowcreate/
