Triangle ArtWorks

Have you been looking for a new teaching venue? Craft Habit Raleigh will open their doors on July 14th. Both a retail craft supply store and a modern craft teaching venue, this shop will focus on unique and locally-made supplies such as Raleigh-dyed yarns and embroidery kits designed by Triangle artists. The store will be the first new tenant in the Gateway Shopping Center, a redeveloping strip center just inside the beltline off Capital Boulevard.

With supplies ranging from silversmithing to sewing, the shop will offer classes by artists from the area in jewelry and metalsmithing, paper flower making, fiber arts (felting, basic sewing, garment construction, macrame and embroidery) and other crafts. The store includes a Customer Lounge; a flexible work space that will be available for craft groups and makers, as well as a more traditional craft classroom. Owners Sarah Ferguson and Taylor Lee have long histories of teaching and participating in the indie craft scene and are looking forward to creating a home for Triangle creatives.

Services/Resources will include:

• Retail craft supplies and tools for Jewelry-making, Fiber Crafts, and Paper Crafts
• In-store classes offered in traditional, trending, and innovative crafts at various skill levels
• In-store customer work-space with basic tools available for completing small projects and socializing
• Small Batch Craft Bar – crafting equipment for in-store rental use (ex: sewing machines, roll-thru die-cutter, Cricut, badge-press, more)
• Birthday Parties for Children ages 5+ and Adults
• Private Crafting Events (Holiday parties, Bachelorette parties, Baby Showers, etc)
• Summer and Track-out Crafting Camps for elementary-age students
• Social crafting nights and meet-up space for local craft organizations
