Some people are crafty mavens who seem to be able to take a piece of leather or wood and a dab of paint and turn it into a fabulous piece of art. Others need a bit more help, but long to try to create special things with their own two hands. There's a special bar in Portland that will help even the most inexperienced guest make a special craft item - and enjoy a glass of wine, beer or cider at the same time!
If you're yearning to create something special with your own two hands, you'll want to book yourself a seat at DIY Bar.
It's located at 3522 N. Vancouver Ave., Portland, OR 97227.
This place is just bustling with people from all walks of life, working on all kinds of projects, and you can join them!
Just walking through this studio will get your creative juices flowing. You'll find all kinds of craft materials, from thread in dozens of vibrant hues, to jars of paint and pieces of leather and wood.
When you first arrive, you'll want to check out the different samples to choose a project that you love.
Once you pick your project, you'll get a project bag with all the supplies and tools you need, along with both written instructions and photos to help you along the way.
Craft tenders are on hand to help you out if you have any questions. Relax and have fun while you sow your creative seeds.
One of the best ways to relax while crafting? Sip a beer, glass of wine, hard cider, or mimosa, of course!
DIY Bar offers all four for your sipping enjoyment. You can also choose a soda or sparkling water.
With every project, you'll learn new skills...
...and create a special craft item that you'll always treasure. You'll want to allow between one and three hours to complete your work of art.
This truly is a place for crafty (and not so crafty) people! If you think you fall in the second category, DIY Bar just might give you the confidence to start creating even more projects.
While walk-ins are accepted here, it's best to reserve your spot ahead of time.
