First Birthday Open Studio craft workshop in Montgomery County, Md.

It’s our first birthday! We’ve hosted more than 75 birthday parties since we opened in January 2025, and now it’s time for us to throw one for ourselves.

We decided the best way to celebrate was by inviting our community to join us for one of our favorite events — Open Studio. These monthly workshops are full of family-friendly, open-ended projects, and this time, they’re all party- and celebration-themed. While you help us mark our big milestone, you’ll create some fun keepsakes to celebrate your family’s big days.

As with all of our Open Studio events, we invite you to 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 event is not just for kids! Adults are invited to get crafty with us, whether you've got a kid with you or not.

Our crafting stations will include:

• Special keepsakes to display for each birthday in your family.
• Fun decor items for a festive vibe on birthdays or any day.
• A collaborative community craft project that we can’t wait to share!

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.

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.

This is not a drop-off event. All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
