Over a year ago New Craft Artists in Action team captain launched MOLTENi Net Works in Boston. Bringing together makers and players in collaborative exchange, the project aims to create functional, hand-crafted basketball nets for neglected public hoops. Dr. James Naismith created the game of basketball in Springfield, MA in 1891. He posed a recycled peach basket as the first hoop. Now nets help break a ball’s fall, give players a sense of depth for good aim, and allow refs to see that a bas …

Join other local artists in working on all kinds of art. We began as a group focused on Artist Trading Cards (ATCs), which are small (3.5- x 2.5-inch) works of original art.

Our group is open to adult artists and craftspeople at all experience levels. Our current members range from prof …

Collage is such a great medium for creating art, and is fun in group settings! Since there don't seem to be any local meetup groups devoted to collage already, it seems about time to start one. Interested people can bring their favorite bits of paper, some glue, and get together to create masterpieces and check out what other people are pasting together. Gatherings will be at the MIT Stata Center.  It's a wonderful, spacious and collage friendly place!

Welcome! I would like to start this group because I thought it would be fun to get together with other yarn enthusiasts in the JP area. This group is for all adults at all levels of skill. Please do not feel intimidated if you are working on your first scarf with a few little “variations in stitches” that might have not been in your original pattern. Experienced craftspeople should also feel at home. We can offer some suggestions as well, but we cannot provide full knitting lessons. I know there …

Leave your technical manuals behind - this group is for those interested in photography as an art form. Although we recognize the importance of the craft of photographer we feel that the craft is already very well catered for by a plethora of meetups and camera groups in the New England Region. This group will take a step to the side and cater to those for whom art assumes a far greater weight than craft. We won't be talking about camera settings, lenses, tripods or equipment, we will be discu …
