CRAFTAHOLICS

We gather, we laugh, we make things in Silver City, NM. Craftaholics is hosted by Otter Chaos at 208 W. Yankie.

About US

Craftaholics got its start by multiple donations of craft materials as Abby (Otter Chaos’ owner) organized for clients and friends in her former Texas community. The crafting stash grew and grew, as crafting stashes do.

Abby is still often gifted crafting supplies. These gifts are meant for sharing. And so, this space was born. We continue to accept donations.

Craftaholic Members can stop in to experiment, create, or finish projects using any of our donated supplies. We also offer classes and host gatherings for members and non-members.

Materials

Our main materials are yarn, fabric, paper, and beads. We make everything from sock puppets to personal vision journals to beaded jar lanterns.

We love to create crafts from materials that would otherwise end up in the trash. Paperboard boxes, jars, bottle caps, and even cat food cans can be used to make recycled books, candles, mosaic projects, and punched metal candle holders. If we can think of a way to use it, we will happily accept your donated goodies and junk!

Membership

One membership card is $20. Each card allows 20 2 hour visits. Crafters may bring friends. One time visit fee is $2 or you can allow your friend a punch on your card. These fees go toward buying supplies that aren’t donated as often like glue, and jewelry findings.

Membership is required to use the tools and supplies in the Craftaholics gathering space.

Some events are free to everyone. Some events like classes with special materials will have a fee. The free or fee events do not require membership.

Event Descriptions

Sunday 10AM - 12 is reserved for MEMBERS’ personal reflection. Vision journals or boards are highly encouraged. Any craft that brings you closer to your true self is absolutely welcome!

All open times above are available to members to create as they like.

We are currently looking for teachers, guides hosts, facilitators for various times during the above hours. Different events may be open freely to the public or offered to the community for a materials/participation fee.

Private groups or classes may reserve time in our craft room when Otter Chaos is not open for a small usage fee.

Our Community

Sometimes, we craft just to craft. We don’t necessarily want it for ourselves or to take it home at all. In cases like these, Otter Chaos can sell your creations for the benefit of the Youth Mural Project. 100% of the sales price of a Craftaholic’s craft is donated to the YMP. You can see their work all over town, and we love it! We love supporting the next generation’s creativity.
