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.

I only noticed that we both matched ours when I took a photo. Behold Mac's pen, mug, and hair clip (on her belt), and my cup, pen, mug, and fanny pack. We were meeting to discuss Mac's upcoming hiatus. She's leaving the studio day-to-day but she'll be back on occasion to teach bookbinding! She's irreplaceable, which is why we're hiring for two part-time positions (one about 16 hours a week and one about 5 hours a week). More info coming soon, but DM here if you're interested!
