Dalhousie/King's Crafting Society

Our goal is to create a safe space for students to craft and meet others who craft! We plan to organize crafting sessions, workshops, and field trips to craft stores/fairs. Whether you are a seasoned crafter or interested in starting a new hobby, we would love for you to join us and explore the world of crafts!

Our society invites Dalhousie and Kings students to craft together and try out new crafting opportunities. In addition to our bi-weekly crafting sessions we plan to host a variety of crafting workshops to learn new skills, as well as field trips to local crafting stores and crafting markets so that our members can both explore the world of crafting and learn more about local creators and shops. We aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for both avid crafters and those who've never tried before to come together and destress and connect with other crafters and build a community together. This space is open to any student all they need is their willingness to craft or to learn how and a welcoming attitude.
