Beading/Jewelry Making: Tuesdays 9-11:15am
Guests create necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, and many other types of jewelry for themselves, as a gift or to sell at craft fairs! Supplies and assistance are provided by volunteers experienced in beading and jewelry creation.

Arts & Crafts: 1st & 3rd Mondays each month 10–11:30am
Each class is led by a volunteer and the craft varies, often in connection with an upcoming holiday. This usually leads to some fun and interesting conversation as guests and volunteers chat informally. Guests can create cards for special occasions or a collage to hang in their new apartment! Supplies are provided.

Crocheting & Knitting: Wednesdays & Thursdays 9:30–11:30am
Guests are given the opportunity twice a week to knit, crochet and do other needlework in a peaceful community setting. Women make scarves, sweaters, hats, gloves and other useful items for themselves or to share as gifts. This handwork has proven to be an effective way for guests to manage stress, depression and long-term pain management.
