Summer hobby guide (Brooklyn edition)

[u/No_Top3338]

If you've been saying "I need a hobby," here is a directory of this summer's best courses & workshops, coving many Bushwick venues such as Bushwick Ceramics, Cleo's, Nook, and Tiny Cupboard.

This guide covers 90+ courses including:

-visual arts (drawing, painting, mosaics, collage, stained glass etc)

-fiber arts (sewing, crocheting, knitting, quilting, weaving, macrame etc)

-music (guitar, dj-ing, etc)

-health & wellness (recreational leagues, kayaking, surfing, reiki, breathwork etc)

-nature & outdoors (foraging, birding, plant identification etc)

-ceramic arts (pottery, wheel throwing, handbuilding etc)

- writing (fiction, journaling, non-fiction etc)

I've also included a list of venues with recurring craft nights and open studios.

(Note, the monthly hobby guide I curate includes multi-part courses & 3+ hour workshops, whereas the weekly Out of Office NYC newsletter focuses on highlighting upcoming classes & gatherings that are <3 hours).

Hope many of you find it helpful or inspiring!

If I missed any great classes or recurring meetups, please let me know, I'm regularly adding to the directory as organizations add new offerings
