The hours are great. They’ll sometimes have classes on specific crafts or skills, and I am SO excited...

At this point, Diversions is about 90% of the reason I leave my house. I’ve gone there for a date night during their spin-the-wheel craft night and for some studio time to use their calligraphy tools. But honestly, it’s the community they’ve created that makes this place incredible. Their weekly craft nights (and their now regular game nights!) feel like home. It’s a safe place to yell at your yarn, learn a new skill, and laugh with a great...
