Our Space

Located less than 10 minutes from downtown, CRAFT can seat 30 crafters and accommodate up to 50 standing guests. Our studio features an open concept design that encourages creativity and provides easy access to an extensive library of DIY tools and supplies. For larger events, tables and shelves can be rearranged to create plenty of room to mix and mingle.

Our Story

After years of storing craft supplies under her bed and making last minute trips to the art store for a pinch of some specific shade of green glitter, Eli realized what Austin needed: a place where anyone–from crafting hoarders to rookies–could make a mess and create. “Why not make a lovely space,” she thought, “like a gym, but for making stuff. Instead of treadmills, we’ll share paint, glue guns, googly eyes, and wood scraps. People can show up and work on any project they want. It will be Austin’s craft room.”

And that’s exactly what she did. Since opening in 2013, CRAFT has become Austin’s creative hub for DIY crafting, workshops, and events.

Eli, Creative Experience Officer

After graduating from high school in Austin, Eli attended Scripps College in California, where she founded Challah for Hunger. In his 2007 book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World, President Bill Clinton praised Eli for being an example of compelling giving. Challah for Hunger now boasts chapters at nearly 80 colleges, and although she’s no longer on staff, her proudest accomplishment is its endurance and strength.

Eli has no formal art background but has always loved making things. She started CRAFT in 2013 after coming to the conclusion that if she was going to accumulate an excessive amount of art supplies, she might as well share.

Once this class got going, I was too into it to ta Once this class got going, I was too into it to take photos/videos! 🧵🪡 So this moment at the beginning is all I got of our new intro to machine sewing / intro to quilting workshop. 🤪 Honestly, I wasn't expecting to feel very excited about quilting; I know other people love it, but it's never called to me. Now it calls! 😍😍😍 This class was so fun, and through putting together a little quilt, you learn how to use a sewing machine. Calliope is offering two classes, one is a great intro to machine sewing/quilting and it's in three different sessions (3 hours each) over a few weeks. The other is a shorter intro, a taste of sewing/quilting, and it's in two sessions (2 hours each). Who's excited?! Comment or message if you have questions or just to say hi! Link in bio if you're ready to sign up. ❤️ -Eli
We loved hosting @austinschooloffiberarts last wee We loved hosting @austinschooloffiberarts last week for their master class in botanical printing. It's pretty magical, don't you think? 🍃 What about using flowers from a wedding bouquet, or printing using local flora as a souvenir on a vacation?! Other ideas?
