Learning a new craft creates a sense of accomplishment, which increases self-confidence and makes you want to run for mayor. For $35, today's Groupon gets you $75 worth of craft workshops at Hands-on 3rd, located on West 3rd near the Beverly Center.
Hands-on 3rd is a craft studio offering a variety of workshops, as well as private and semi-private lessons, where nearby animals are allowed to watch through the windows. The craftery's back-to-basics classes can be taken by beginners and master artists alike. During a three-hour open sew ($15), you can bring in a project and use the studio's sewing machines while fraternizing with fellow sewspeople. Invest in two months of knit assist ($15 per weekly session) to create a Christmas sweater or a Memorial Day set of socks. Crash courses of 150 minutes ($49) are highlighted on the online schedule in green and can help you learn to crochet, build a terrarium, or master machine-stitching techniques to make your own zipper coin-purse for Pog collections. Newer classes coming soon this season include Power Tools 101, Coffee-Stirrer Lamps, and Kinetic Creations, in which you'll give life to inanimate bendable wiring. As insinuated by the name of the business, Hands-on features an approach to crafting that involves hands and sends you home with actual skills in your hands.
