DIY Clutch Bar

Armature Works is hosting a DIY Clutch Bar at Show + Tell on Tuesday, October 27, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. It's a hands-on workshop where you make your own purse clutch from scratch: you pick a style and then personalize it with a variety of embellishments and details until it's a one-of-a-kind accessory. The piece is professionally completed after the class and ready for pickup a week later, so you leave with the design done and come back for the finished thing.

They pitch it as a girls' day out, a creative date night, or just a chance to try something new, and it works for any of those. Since you're doing the designing yourself, it's as much about the process as the result. You'll spend the ninety minutes working through the style and the details, and the professional finishing happens behind the scenes.

Armature Works is a multi-use destination in Tampa Heights, housed in a restored streetcar barn right on the Hillsborough River. It hosts everything from outdoor night markets to culinary pop-ups, and the indoor food hall brings together concepts from local chefs, with waterfront patio seating overlooking the river and historic brick streets leading to the wider Tampa Riverwalk network. The workshop takes place at Show + Tell, one of the spaces inside. Tickets are $75 per person, and all materials are included.
