Upcoming In Person Create Space Events
Tiny books. Tinier plants. One seriously adorable shelf that's going to live in your space forever.
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll build and style your own 1:12 scale miniature bookshelf complete with handmade miniature books, a teeny tiny plant, and all the little details that make it undeniably yours. It's part craft night, part creative play, and 100% the most fun you'll have on a Friday in July.
No experience needed. Just show up ready to make something that'll make everyone who sees it say "wait, YOU made that?"
Here's what's included:
A 1:12 scale unfinished wood bookshelf to paint and style
Materials to make 12 miniature books
Materials for miniature accessories to style your shelf
A teeny tiny plant (obviously)
One drink ticket to sip while you create
All materials and guidance included. Just bring yourself.
Early bird perk worth grabbing:
Grab your ticket before July 17th and you get to choose up to 12 books you want represented on your shelf. Favorite novel? A cookbook you love? The book that changed your life? Tell us and we'll make it happen.
After July 17th, your shelf gets stocked with Avril's personal picks which, honestly, isn't a bad thing either.
This one is going to sell out. It's a small group, at one of Portland's most beloved spots, and there is nothing else like it.
Tickets: $60 each
Friday, July 24th • 6-8pm
Saturday, August 8 • 12:30-2:30pm
Sunday just got a serious upgrade.
Join us for a relaxed, creative afternoon at Portland's most beloved wine bar where you'll make a pair of stunning mosaic coasters to take home. Think colorful tile, grout, and your own design instincts coming together into something genuinely beautiful and actually useful.
No art experience needed. Just show up, sip something good, and make something you'll use every single day.
What's included:
All materials to make a pair of mosaic coasters
One drink or wine pour of your choice (N/A options available)
Good company and a special summer Sunday afternoon
This is the kind of workshop that feels like a treat. It's tactile, satisfying, and there's something deeply meditative about placing tiny pieces of tile until something beautiful appears. Plus you're doing it at a wine bar, soooo.
Perfect for a solo creative afternoon, a date, or a low-key outing with a dear friend. Spots are limited and this one will fill fast.
Tickets: $55
Sunday, August 23 • 2-4pm
