Crafting & Popsicles

Letterpress PLAY is hosting Crafting & Popsicles this Thursday, October 8, and the best part is that it's a recurring thing. Every Thursday from 12 PM to 3 PM, they set up a space for crafting and hand out free popsicles, so if you're looking for a midday break that doesn't cost you anything, this is a good one to keep on your radar.

The setup is straightforward: you get a popsicle and some time to make something. It's not a structured class or a high-pressure workshop, so you can drop in for a quick half-hour or hang out for the full three hours. If you've got a project you've been putting off, it's a decent excuse to actually sit down and work on it. If you don't have anything in mind, the crafting supplies are there to get you started. The popsicles are free, and the crafting is part of the same deal.

Because it happens every Thursday, you don't have to stress about getting the timing exactly right this week. If you can't make it on the 8th, it'll be back the following Thursday in the same window. It's a low-stakes way to spend a lunch hour, especially if you're already in the South Congress area.

Letterpress PLAY is located at 2002 S. Congress, Austin, TX 78704. The window is 12 PM to 3 PM, and the popsicles are free.
