Our San Francisco Bay Area group is getting crafty and we want you there for an evening of tactile creativity and genuine connection! This Maker’s Night is all about stepping away from the blueprints and screens to work with your hands, allowing queer and ally professionals to bond over block printing and bead art. You'll leave with more than just a custom tote or a nostalgic magnet; you'll gain a refreshed sense of community and the joy of creating something uniquely yours alongside people who truly get you.
