Whether you knit, crochet, felt, sew, cross-stitch, or embroider, come by, grab a drink or a snack, and share your creations! We meet in the food hall at Brookfield Place (230 Vesey St) in Tribeca.

Production Workshop

[Please RSVP](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/production-basics-free-workshop/) to ensure you will be able to participate in this free workshop. [Production Basics](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/production-basics-free-workshop/) is a free, hands-on 2-hour workshop that gives you a real introduction to making music from scratch. Hosted in our NYC studios, the session focuses on one core skill: building your first groove and loop. A professional producer walks you through how a beat actually comes together, from picking sounds to laying down patterns to shaping an idea into something that sounds like a track. ​This is built to give you an honest read on whether music production is a craft you want to pursue further. Small-group format with guided instruction and open practice time. No DAW experience or prerequisites required. However, [RSVP is required.](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/production-basics-free-workshop/) Workstations are available on a **first-come, first-served basis**, so we recommend arriving early to secure a spot. If all workstations are taken by the time you arrive, you’re still more than welcome to join the session, observe, and jump on the gear during open practice time!

Crafting Together on the LES

Bring whatever you have been working on or wanted to work on, but haven't had the chance. I have some paint-by-numbers and crocheting I would like to get done this Fall. Grab a coffee or snack and let's sit and craft together at Essex Market. You can work quietly or we can chat--whatever you feel comfortable with! I figured this way I can block out time to ACTUALLY get some art done. We will be in the mezzanine seating area. I can provide my phone number the day of.

Daniel's Comic Book Workshop

Scraps from September

This will be our first meetup! Bring your journal, favorite supplies (markers, pens, stickers, glue, scissors), and your most outstanding junk to piece together a beautifully chaotic spread together reflecting on the month of September. Since this will be our first meeting, there's no real theme or rules to follow, just a space to get creative and share our love of stationery and creativity. We can use this as a way to gauge interest, get input from members, and plan future events. My name is Lori, the creator of this group. I have attended many events like this in the city, but have never found one in my neighborhood, so thought I would start one myself. We can try meeting at Kuppi Coffee in Edgewater for our first event since they have plenty of seating, and see how it goes!
