This year, the workshops will be 'pay what you can' to help cover the cost of supplies, but for a few dollars and a bit of time, you'll learn a new craft and be able to take home what you make. Amazing!
Be sure to leave time during your City of Craft experience for one of these fantastic workshops.
Here is this year's line up:
