Spark Crafts

Now in their new home in Porter Square (as of Saturday, July 7), Spark Crafts combines the warmth and coziness of a café with the sleek contemporary design of an Ikea showroom. Spark’s boutique area offers a wide range of arts and craft supplies, including semi-precious stones and crystals, cardstock, multi-colored yard, and more. The craft studios, used for classes, parties, and by members, are painted in funky variations of the store’s signature pink and green. Music playing in the background and fashion magazines and craft books stacked next to patterned couches make it as welcoming as a friend’s living room. Spark Crafts is a great place to hole up during the winter months, as they also teach classes in knitting and crocheting (think: one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts for everyone on your list!).

Grab a couple of gal pals and check out Spark’s popular “Wine and Craft” series on a Friday evening to create new craft projects like cocktail rings, chandelier earrings, pearl necklaces, and more. Or set up a private party with friends or coworkers. You can even arrange to have “Creativity Consultants” visit your house for a girl’s night in. All in all, a cool concept and a great place to pick up a new hobby.
