Join us at the West Oakland Branch for the Adult Craft Club. Arts and Crafts are for grown folks, too! Build community, learn new crafting skills, and hang out. The projects are DIY, beginner-friendly, and all materials are provided. Every month, the craft will rotate. Feel free to bring your own art projects as well. Hobby hoppers, newbies, advanced crafters, and all are welcome. This program is possible thanks to a grant from the Friends of the Oakland Public Library.
