What’s that one thing you always wanted to learn to do, but just never got around to – knitting? DJing? Beer brewing? The time has come! In honor of the New Year, Cal Academy's NightLife event is teaming up with experts across the Bay Area, to present the ultimate how-to workshop.
What are we making?
Amelia Strader, owner of GoGo Craft, will be there to show you the basics of knitting. This hands-on demo is designed for absolute beginners who always wanted to learn how to knit but were too intimidated to try. Learn the basic foundation steps of knitting; cast-on, knit stitch, and cast-off - all the steps you will need to know to make a warm and stylish skinny scarf.

Then let GoGo Craft show you how to use traditional stitching techniques to turn vintage and scrap fabric into a modern quilt for your home. Not too handy with a sewing machine? Not to worry! This hand sewing project can be completed with just a needle and thread. Materials and instruction provided.

Thursday, January 17th 5-8pm
The San Jose Museum of Art is presenting a special SJMADE Mini Mart! San Jose Made (SJMADE) is a platform for local San Jose makers, labels, brands, small businesses, and artists to showcase and sell current projects and goods. For one night only, SJMADE will gather a small group of its independent makers in SJMA’s lobby for an SJMADE Mini Mart.
What are we making?
You can peruse the wares and then create a unique, upcycled cup cozy or t-shirt bracelet with the help of GoGo Craft, a mobile crafting workshop that provides exciting and accessible make-and-take projects for participants at all skill levels.
Admission to SJMADE Mini Mart is free.
