A Roundup: Creative + Crafty Boston
Like my roundup of free yoga classes in the Boston area, below is another roundup of places to visit in the Boston area.
If you like to do crafts and try different creative things, you might want to sign up for a class, workshop, or just drop by one day or night at one of these locations. It's fun to take a class alone or with friends, family, and sometimes with children as well.
The picture above is my quilt, sadly still in progress, but a reflection of my crafty side. Maybe I need some guidance to help me finish. Since this post, I never got my sewing machine to work again. My quilting saga continues...
This is hardly a full listing, but it's a starting point. If you know of places, please let me know in the comments and I may add them too.
Included here are local centers for adult education. I've had good experiences taking classes at all three of them and sometimes I teach baking classes at one of them as well.
Hopefully this list of places will be a good resource for many of you. Part of the reason that I'm compiling this list is so that I can refer to it myself. Having interesting experiences is always high on my list. Even science shows us that we're more likely to find happiness from experiences rather than from stuff.
Enjoy!
