Bring your art or craft project of choice, and make some progress with company. How it Works This event is entirely online, so you don't need to move your project or equipment anywhere. You can do any kind of art or craft you like! (You can even write if you'd like.) We'll start off with a bit of a chat about what we're all working on and our craft of choice. It would be great if you could share a photo of your project with us! Then we'll have some focus time to get some work done. If you want to join the voice channel, feel free to share a video stream of your crafty progress! Look out for people who have their mics and headphones muted, as they can't hear any chatter, but they might be sharing a view of their work with us or viewing others' streams. In Discord, you can view multiple streams at once. At the end of the event, it would be lovely to have another photo of your project, so we can have before-and-after views! *Pictures and videos are entirely voluntary; please only share what you're comfortable with.

See more details Craft with the Fam Craft with the Fam 27 July 2025 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm http://discord.word-family.com It's time to get crafty! Bring your art or craft project of choice, and make some progress with company. How it Works This event is entirely online, so you don't need to move your project or equipment anywhere. You can do any kind of art or craft you like! (You can even write if you'd like.) We'll start off with a bit of a chat about what we're all working on and our craft of choice. It would be great if you could share a photo of your project with us! Then we'll have some focus time to get some work done. If you want to join the voice channel, feel free to share a video stream of your crafty progress! Look out for people who have their mics and headphones muted, as they can't hear any chatter, but they might be sharing a view of their work with us or viewing others' streams. In Discord, you can view multiple streams at once. At the end of the event, it would be lovely to have another photo of your project, so we can have before-and-after views! *Pictures and videos are entirely voluntary; please only share what you're comfortable with.
