History
Nashville’s contemporary craft scene has grown alongside its music culture, with maker-run studios and pop-up classrooms becoming common downtown gathering spots.
Conservation
Bring and reuse fabric scraps when possible and consider upcycling an old garment to reduce textile waste; ask the studio about leftover-material recycling options.
Reserve a spot early
Classes cap at eight guests and often fill, so book ahead to secure your preferred date and time.
Bring a personal item to embellish
If you want to customize a jacket or tote, bring it along—otherwise provided fabric works fine.
Plan for studio temperature
Wear layers; studios can run cool under focused lighting and open doors in summer.
Ages 10 and up
Kids ten and older are welcome, but adult supervision is recommended for younger participants.
Favorite fabric or jacket
Bring a personal item to embellish if you want a finished wearable piece.
Tote or carry bag
Useful for transporting your finished patch or decorated item home.
Reading glasses or magnifier
