DIY isn’t dead.
It just took a nap.
JOANN’S FABRIC’s may have closed, but the spirit of making is back. For one weekend, we are reimagining this iconic creative hub. Instead of just wandering aisles for supplies, you’ll sit down with the people who use them every day.
How it Works!
Step 1: EXPLORE FOR FREE.
Walk the space, shop the makers, and soak in the inspiration.
Step 2: CHOOSE AN ACTIVITY.

Purchase your passport on-site (or pre-buy online) to participate in any hands-on project.
Step 4: CONNECT.
Learn a new skill and the founder's story simultaneously.
