St. Patrick's Day Open Studio craft workshop in Montgomery County, Md.

Come to Rio Saturday, March 14, for the City of Gaithersburg St. Patrick's Day parade, and then join us for a few hours of open crafting — stay for a few minutes, or hang out all day. Bring a friend, a kid, a partner or come alone. Crafters of all ages will find something fun to make, we’re sure of it. This is a low-pressure, good vibes crafting environment. Just the way all crafting should be!

This event is not just for kids! Adults are invited to get crafty with us, whether you've got a kid with you or not.

We’ll have several stations set up for your crafting pleasure, including our Bead Bar, stocked with plenty of green, gold and rainbows. Plus lots of other fun projects inspired by the holiday and the season (which will hopefully not include snow and ice!).

All the projects are open-ended, and ready for you to put your own spin on them. There will be no official instruction, but we will offer lots of inspiration if you need it.

This is not a drop-off event. All children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are $15 in advance or $18 at the door. It helps us so much to know how many people to expect, so advance tickets are discounted! Crafters 4 and under are free, but must be accompanied by a paying adult.
