About us
Are you a maker in the Milford, CT area? Do you knit, crochet, needlepoint or indulge in any other portable craft? If so, come make with us!
This is a group for local makers, fiber artists, and crafters to gather and work on our projects (BYO materials) over a good cup of coffee (or tea), with a side of great conversation. Come share what you are working on, learn from others, or just enjoy the company of fellow makers.
This is a welcoming and inclusive group for makers of all types and skill levels. We meet up at various locations in the greater Milford, Connecticut area (times and dates to be announced). All we ask is that you make at least a small purchase from the local business kind enough to host us!
