Craft Corner is an all-ages, intergenerational program that brings the community together to create projects throughout the year. With a focus on using different materials and upcycling when possible, each craft is designed to appeal to kids, teens, and adults. Bring your family or neighbors for some hands-on fun! If you'd like, you can even bring your own materials to make the planned craft or create something uniquely your own.
