Columbus Leather Crafting Basics Social Hour

Columbus Leather Crafting Basics Social Hour

Sun, Oct 18, 7:00 PM
From Leatherworking Made Simple Social Craft Club

We are hosting a casual social hour for anyone in the Columbus area interested in leather crafting. This is an informal space to connect with other local makers, share what you are currently working on, and talk shop. Whether you have been working with leather for years or have just been curious about how to get started, you are welcome to pull up a chair. The goal for this gathering is simply to meet fellow hobbyists in our community and swap advice in a relaxed setting. There is no formal instruction planned for this session, so feel free to bring a small project to work on or just come by to ask questions and chat with others who enjoy the craft. We look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting those of you who are new to the group. If you think you can make it, please let us know by clicking the RSVP button. It helps us get a better idea of how many folks to expect so we can make sure we have enough space for everyone.

Columbus Triple Word Score Social Scrabble Night

Columbus Triple Word Score Social Scrabble Night

Fri, Oct 16, 1:00 AM
From Triple Word Score Social Scrabble Club

We are hosting another evening of casual Scrabble at our usual spot in Columbus. This is a low-pressure way to get a few games in, meet some local word game enthusiasts, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition. Whether you are a seasoned tournament player or just someone who enjoys a relaxing game on a weeknight, you will find a welcoming group here. We have a few boards on hand, but feel free to bring your own set if you have a favorite one you prefer to play with. The atmosphere is very laid back, so do not feel like you need to be a vocabulary expert to fit in. We mostly focus on the social side of things, making it a great way to meet new people while keeping the brain active. We will be grabbing some tables near the back, so just look for the group with the tiles out when you arrive. If you think you might be able to make it, please go ahead and RSVP so we have a general idea of how many tables to set up.
