We invite you to join us at Craft & Cry for some cathartic stitching, glueing, knitting, chatting, and yeah maybe a little crying. It’s a tough moment in DC / the country / the world, and we like to handle that by coming together with awesome people who get it.

Bring your current craft project, or pick one up here, and commiserate with us. Potter’s staff will be in the event room working on embroidery, crochet, block prints, and paint kits and would be happy to demonstrate.

Let’s craft, cry, and carry on.
