About the Crafts Center

The Crafts Center is a space for students to unleash their creativity by working on projects of their own design. It is located on campus in the basement of Lewis Hall, with its entrance on the side of Lewis facing Tilton.

A variety of sections are maintained in the Center, including:

All of our supplies and tools are available for use by any student, and finished products can be kept by their creators. Raw materials and tools must be left in center so that everyone can enjoy using them.

We are open daily throughout the semester, with workshops held by volunteers on Saturday afternoons from 1-4 pm. Past workshops include making moss graffiti art, stenciling, canvas stretching, oil painting, spinning wool into yarn, tie dying, throwing on a ceramics wheel, paper making, cookie decorating, chainmail bracelets, origami, and candle molding. These workshops are a great way to learn new skills and hang out - come back and practice at Crafts Center any time!

We are completely student-run, so all of our staff members are volunteers, called "Crafties". Most of our volunteers are residents of Crafts House, located at 14 Professors Row on campus. All of our funding comes from the TCU Senate, and the budget for each year is determined and managed by the volunteers, who then purchase supplies that they bring to center.
