Craft Nights offers the perfect escape for those seeking a creative outlet to unwind and de-stress. This charming, affordable, and instructor-led art studio in the heart of the Sheaborhood is a sanctuary where creativity and relaxation go hand in hand. Whether you’re looking to explore new artistic talents or want to enjoy an evening of fun, color, and happiness, Craft Nights is the place to be.
The concept behind Craft Nights began in 2015 when founder Jen Racer started gathering her friends for casual craft and wine nights to relax and unwind. These gatherings quickly became a monthly tradition, and Racer’s passion for art and creativity grew over time. What began as a simple get-together transformed into something more: a craft subscription box service, a traveling workshop business, and finally, a brick-and-mortar DIY arts and crafts studio in 2018.
“At Craft Nights, our mission is to encourage people to have fun with art,” Racer said. “We want our guests to leave the stress and distractions of the outside world behind so they can fully immerse themselves in a creative and enjoyable experience.”
Seven years later, Craft Nights has grown into a bustling hub of artistic expression, offering 25 to 30 classes every month. The studio has various creative workshops, including string art, splatter painting, resin pouring, wood burning, printmaking, soap making, and pet painting. A family-friendly paint night is also for those looking to bond over a fun, hands-on activity.
Many students have shared how Craft Nights has positively impacted their well-being. “After taking a class, I feel much less stressed and uplifted,” Racer said. The therapeutic nature of crafting has a unique ability to boost mood and promote relaxation, making it the ideal antidote to the pressures of daily life.

With instructor-led sessions, private events, and parties, Craft Nights offers a fun and supportive environment to explore your creativity, meet new people, and escape into a world of color and imagination.
