Crafternoon

Live and in person!

NEXT CRAFTERNOON: September 28, 2025
1:00pm to 4:00pm

Crafternoon is an opportunity to hang out with likeminded crafters and work on your projects, maybe get some tips, and definitely get inspired!

Ritchie Community League and Not Ladylike Community present Crafternoon! Bring your favourite craft supplies or a project on the go. We’ll set you up at a table, and you can craft the afternoon away! There will be snacks, and friends new and old. Admission is “pay what you can”, and is open to members and non-members of Ritchie. Pre-registering guarantees you a friendly reminder email two days out, but is otherwise no obligation. Things come up, we get it!

Crafternoon is a low barrier way to spend some time creating for you, in a friendly and safe environment, with rad folks who also love crafting.

REGISTER HERE!

Crafternoon is such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. It beautifully mixes the productivity of creating something while offering natural topics of conversation to meet new people and make lasting friendships.

I was a little anxious about being in a room with so many people I’d never met before after checking out some of the pictures from previous gatherings on line. Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves however and I’m really happy to that I did go. ☺️
