Creative Long Table Sessions

Come hang out and get creative. No materials or prior creative experience required – this is open to anyone and everyone.

✨ Hanging around campus? 

🥪 Bored and looking for somewhere to eat your lunch? 

👩🏿‍🤝‍👩🏼 Wanting to make some new friends? 

🧶 Need motivation to finish that scarf you started 7 months ago? 

🎨 Or maybe you want inspiration to make something new?

Come hang at the Long Table Sessions!

For students, led by students.  This is a low-key space to drop-in & vibe - we don't expect anything from you. Come and use all of our materials, or show us what you've been working on.

There is no pressure to stay for the whole time. No materials or prior creative experience required – this is open to anyone and everyone. You don't have to be an artist. We'll have some gentle facilitation and prompts each week if you need some ideas for where to get started or if you want to learn something new. We'll see you there!
