Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Sign up for the mailing list on the home page, then pick a free CraftMONTH event in November 2026, such as the November 12 symposium.
You can just show up.
What to expect
CraftNOW Create offers demonstrations and hands-on craft activities for people of many ages. The symposium is a free day of talks on Philadelphia craft history and artists, held in person at Moore College of Art and Design and online. Exhibitions run at craft shows across the city through December.
