Craft Circle at the Oshawa Museum
Calling All Crafters!
The Oshawa Museum is hosting a craft circle for all ages on the last Sunday of each month. Bring your latest work in progress and hang out with museum volunteers and other like-minded crafters. This is the perfect chance to try something if you’re new to handicrafts or solve a mystery, like how to actually fix slipped stitches and how the heck to hold a crochet hook properly.
This is a free experience, but the Oshawa Museum always welcomes donations. Come to Guy House, the yellow museum building in Lakeview Park, between 12:30 and 3:30 pm.
Dates are subject to change due to holidays or museum events.
