What happens when we give you a whole bunch of craft supplies… and things to stick them together with? 😂✂️

Open Crafting is back, and this time we’re exploring GLUE!

We’ll put out different adhesives and plenty of materials to build, layer, attach, decorate, and experiment with. Think pom-poms, craft sticks, paper, fabric, ribbon, yarn, wood pieces, embellishments, and whatever else we find in the studio!

Or skip the extra supplies and see what you can create with hot glue itself! Make shapes, add texture, build something dimensional, or experiment and see what happens.

There’s no sample to copy and no “right” finished project. Come with an idea or start digging through the supplies and see where your creativity takes you!

📅 Tuesday, September 22

⏰ 6–8 PM

🎨 Come for the full two hours or stay for as long as you’d like.

👧 Recommended for ages 8+. Younger artists are welcome with an adult who can actively assist them.

Looking for something creative to do in Sioux Falls? Come play, experiment, and make something completely your own at AMC Collective!

September 23, Noon–5 p.m. | $5

Our final featured drop-in craft for September is ready to welcome fall! 🍂

Drop in September 23–27 to make your own Wood Scarecrow!

Start by painting a wood block, then add a burlap hat, raffia, ribbon, and your own finishing touches. We’ll have a variety of burlap and ribbon colors available so every scarecrow can have its own personality.

And don’t worry about getting that scarecrow face “just right” — we’ll have stencils available to help! 😊

September 27, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. |

Come explore the Sioux Falls Reptile Expo!

Meet reptiles from around the world, shop from breeders and vendors, ask questions, and learn about responsible reptile care. Families can enjoy hands-on experiences, including opportunities to touch and hold select reptiles, photo opportunities, arts and crafts, and more. You’ll also find reptile adoptions, supplies, feeders, and unique gifts.

Whether you’re a longtime reptile enthusiast or just curious, there’s something for all ages to enjoy.
