Satisfy your curiosity and kick off the New Year with Second Sundays! Each month, MakeHaven opens its doors to the public for an afternoon of casual crafting, community, and creative exploration. In January, we are diving into collage to set the tone for 2027. Whether you want to map out a vision board, design a playful 2027 bingo card, or simply experiment with colorful paper and mixed media, there is plenty of space and inspiration to create!

 

What to Expect

This is a relaxed, social gathering where makers of all experience levels can drop in, hang out, and make art together. We will have a wide variety of magazines, papers, scissors, adhesives, and base boards ready for you to cut, tear, layer, and assemble. You can map out your goals and dreams for the coming year, build a fun bingo card full of personal milestones, or just enjoy the process of playing with colors and textures. It is all about unwinding, meeting fellow community members, and having fun making something by hand.

What to Bring

  • We encourage attendees to bring along a snack or beverage to share with the group!
  • Basic collage supplies, backing cardstock, glue, and a collection of magazines and scrap papers will be provided, but feel free to bring along your own magazines, printed photos, stickers, or favorite ephemera to incorporate into your piece.

Who Should Join

Second Sundays are free and open to the public. Whether you are a longtime MakeHaven member, a curious neighbor, an experienced artist, or someone who has not made a collage since grade school, everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
