The Makery, 123 S Fraser St, State College, PA 16801, USAJoin us this monthly adult offering of art making and connection! We’ll rip, cut, stick, draw, paint, and have lots of fun while we’re at it.

We hope you’ll come for the making and stay for the community 🙂

We will also have iron on patches and embroidery thread available for further embellishment. Paints, brushes, patches, and thread will be provided for use during the class. You can bringing your own jacket or purchase a jacket from By A Thread (please choose accordingly at check out).
