The owners of The Hive (above)have a long list of artists and makers they admire—and many of them teach workshops and classes at the Allied Street studio. Learn the meditative art of Zentangles, or try your hand at sewing a child’s dress.

The Scrappy Elephant helps you do good and do good work. Its creative reuse program (you bring them your leftover art supplies to help keep them out of landfills) helps fuel the Palmyra shop’s events and workshops, from mosaics to macramé. (Plus: SE’s Camp Create gets young crafters started early.)
