Sweater weather is officially here, and three of our knitters showed up to Craft Club last week with sweater projects on their needles. Above is Becky's beautiful Dala Horse Sweater, photographed with some fitting seasonal produce. Join us for our last Craft Club of the season at the Colfax Farmer's Market this Thursday, October 1st (4-6pm). We'll be taking a short break for the rest of October and resuming in November (psst! be sure to check out the exciting update below on our new space!) There are still a few spaces left in tomorrow's Community Fire Cider Making Workshop, 5-7pm outdoors on the terrace at Lucchesi Vineyards. I'll leave registration open until midnight tonight if you want to join us. Don't miss your chance to make this seasonal remedy together. Wishing you a creative week and hope to see you soon, Gretchen Gretchen Boyce Founder, Craftfolk Collective

Craftfolk Has A New Home!

After months of searching, I have wonderful news: Craftfolk has found its new home! We will be moving into a beautiful space in Downtown Colfax in early November, just two blocks from our former location. The new space has its own dedicated entrance, front and side patios, and a big welcoming gathering space. I'm still working out the details with the landlord and will share more in the coming weeks.

I'm excited to announce that we will be hosting holiday gift making workshops this year, continuing our free weekly Craft Club, and restarting the weekly Bluegrass & Old-Time Jam in November! If there is a workshop you've been eager to see offered, let me know and I'll do my best to get it on the schedule.

Thank you to everyone for your support during this transition, and a special thank you to Meredith and Laurel for generously offering their studios for our September and October workshops. I'm thrilled to have a dedicated space to continue building the Craftfolk community with you all!
