Hi! Welcome! I'm Cindy. My daughter Chloe,  LOVES LOVES LOVES ballet. Chloe is a bit girly, but by no means sits and paints nails all day. She is always either dancing around the house or busy with crafts and projects!  Chloe actually thought of the ballet club idea after reading one of her many ballet chapter books. Since we are fairly new to the SF Bay Area, I thought this would be a great way to meet new friends and try out all that SF Bay has to offer!  Every girl needs support, especi …

I started this group to bring together folks that love to create. The group is a place to learn about mosaics, create mosaics, and have a community to work alongside. This meetup is held in my indoor-outdoor studio space under a grove of palm trees. I have lots of supplies left over from projects and collected, but never used. Just come as you are and start to create a lasting piece of art! It is really fun to see a pile of broken pieces come together into a unique piece of art!

Do you wish you were making more art, or even any art at all? Does your stomach turn inside out at the thought of a blank canvas? Or do you have a heck of a time completing a project? Do you find the artistic process at times absorbing and gratifying and at other times miserable and uncertain? Do you want to keep making art anyway? Would you like a bit of support from others who struggle with the same issues? This is not, I repeat, NOT a group for critiquing each other's work. This is a g …

… Let's meet up for dinners out, drinks, movies, arts/crafts or whatever we want. The possibilities are endless...

This group is for those who love to draw, doodle, illustrate or generally be creative! There is no level of drawing expertise that you specifically need to have to participate. Stick figures are most welcome, and in fact, can be quite hilarious and awesome! Its challenging to find time to do art when you are busy living life, and if you love art and wish you did more then these meetups will be a solution for you. There will be time for free drawing at each meetup, but mostly there are themes fo …

What's the difference between a snapshot, a commercial image and a Fine Art photograph? The answer, of course, is subjective and very much "in the eyes" (and minds) of the photographer and individuals viewing the work. This group will consider what makes photography rather unique among the Visual Arts. Light, composition, intent, and technique are a short list of topics we'll explore, both in the studio and on location. Take a look at our past and upcoming meetings and workshops, and consider jo …

Meetup to knit, crochet, doodle, what have you while sipping a beer or coffee.  I hope that through this group I can learn about crafts/arts that I don't know much about.  I have been part of a few knitting groups, but I always wondered about other crafts/hobbies that aren't as "popular."  Hope to see you soon!  This group is open to all ages, sexual and gender identities.    

What in olden times was a sewing circle has turned into a vibrant online community--BurdaStyle, SewWeekly, blogs... But recently I've noticed local sewists reaching out to each other to connect in more personal ways. Let's start our own sewing circle, have a swap meet, go to the Alameda flea market, share inspiration and techniques, or oogle fabrics at Britex! This is a San Francisco Bay Area meetup for all people looking to meet up with other sewers. Learn more about who we are and what we'd li …

Hi, my name is Noey and I've been an avid Cricut user for about 5 years.  I have owned a Cricut Expression for most of that time and just recently upgraded to a Cricut Expression 2.  I also have a Gypsy.  Please join me in getting together once or twice a month to share our Cricut experience and creativity!   It's great being social and I think it's motivational to see what everyone else is working on. Anyone is welcome to host or we can coordinate to meet at crops at the various local scrapbook …
