Since it was our first time, they explained everything to us. We ended up being there for over 5 hours, while the birthday girl painted her piece in great detail. What was really nice is that the staff left us alone, so there was no pressure to hurry up and leave. Everyone agreed it was fun, and we'd all do it again. It only took a few days for our pottery to be ready to pick up. Overall a great experience.

I love that she was able to navigate a lot of the stuff independently because it gave her extra creative freedom not having to ask for help to get paint and figure out things that she wanted to add to her pieces.

Let me start by saying, I don't know whose fault this is but someone. SOMEONE needs to hear this…read more Let us begin with finding the event. Yelp told me that the Columbus Axe Throwing place, where the event was being held, was next to The Continent. What is The Continent you ask? Well it's an appropriately named apartment complex, or quite possibly a small village, the size of a medium continent. We drove around this multi-neon-colored buildings for a solid 38 minutes looking for this place. Weaving around multiple (multiple!) nightclubs, the french quarter (WTAF), and what appeared to be an abandoned theater ... I was determined to browse overpriced homemade soaps, tiny pop tart pins, sarcastic baby onesies and handmade cards. DETERMINED. Yelp failed to mention that the only way to find this place was to drive through a tunnel into the depths of The Continent where you quite possibly only have a 97% chance of returning alive. But alas we found it ...and the postcard sized sign on the door. Once inside we wandered around looking for the craft fair, passing abandoned furniture, squeezing between the nets behind the batting cages, carefully passing under falling ceiling tiles until we finally reached the Craftin Outlaws sign. It was practically glowing, we made it ! It was all worth it! Spoiler Alert: Nope. There were literally 6 tiny booths of crafts. There were no other customers. Likely because no one else was willing to risk their lives or spend 45 minutes in pursuit of crafts of the outlaw variety. I browsed the crafts for 90 seconds. I haven't been this disappointed since the 2016 World Series and the 2016 election, in that order. Everything about this event was wrong with the exception of the blue slushy I got in the way out the door. Although I'm still drinking it and wouldn't be surprised if the lid fell off, spilling electric blue sludge all over my lap. The LITERAL (blue) cherry on top of the worst 46 minutes of my life.

Items included recycled/upcycled glass goods, recycled/upcycled hair clips, bead/metal/leather jewelry, clothing (cowls, t-shirts, scarfs), drawings/prints, soaps/lotions and animal/hero masks. Afterwards, Craftin' Outlaws sent out a survey via Twitter to get feedback and follow-up on the event.

YE Gurl Says: Craft Raccoon Is Where Creativity (and Second Chances) Meet…read more Back in January 2026, I remember flipping through 614 Magazine and seeing their "Treasure in the Trash" article featuring Rachel Wallis, the owner of Craft Raccoon. At the time, I had no idea a few months later I'd actually be sitting inside the shop with a needle and thread. Funny how things circle back. After taking a sewing class through the Fashion Institute, I ended up connecting with a group of cool women who were equally interested in learning how to make and mend our own clothes. Our instructor suggested we check out a mending class at Craft Raccoon -- and that's how we ended up there. The shop itself is nicely sized and packed with craft supplies -- and here's the twist: much of it is donated and either free or very low cost. It immediately reminded me of creative reuse spaces I've seen in Chicago, which makes sense because Rachel visited a similar concept there and brought the idea back to Columbus. That kind of cross-pollination of ideas seems to happen a lot here in Columbus -- people bringing inspiration from other cities or countries and building something new locally. Honestly? For some ideas, that's a trend worth keeping. Our class was intimate and hands-on. One of the instructors helped my friend finish a reversible bag project while I got practical help fixing a few wardrobe mishaps. First up: a cardigan I had just bought from the now-closed Pivot Boutique. Turns out it had a loose button and three small holes that no one noticed before I purchased it. The instructor showed me exactly how to mend them properly. Next up: hemming a pair of faux leather cargo pants from Naked Wardrobe. Their pieces are typically cut for someone around 5'9", which... is not my situation. Problem solved with a quick hem lesson. By the end of the session we walked away with: * new mending skills * a few good laughs * great conversation with the instructor * and a deeper appreciation for the mission behind Craft Raccoon The shop itself is still fairly new but already offers a wide range of classes -- things like: * circle skirts * aprons * quilted jackets * pajama pants * quilting projects YE Gurl Says: Craft Raccoon is part creative studio, part sustainability hub, and part community classroom. If you've ever wanted to learn how to mend, sew, or simply be less wasteful with your clothes, this is a great place to start. Sometimes the best fashion upgrade isn't buying something new -- it's learning how to fix what you already have.

Do you ever go somewhere and find that you can't stop telling people about it?…read more This is that place. When JoAnn closed (RIP), I figured I'd just buy crafting supplies online but it's been surprisingly difficult to find materials and even harder to buy them sight unseen. Craft Raccoon is like JoAnn's but better priced and you can actually feel good about shopping there because everything you buy is reused and saved from landing in a landfill. Plus, the owner of the store is so kind and helpful. I've learned a lot just through shopping there. But if you want to learn more, they also have really fun classes - like how to sew a fish bag or a class on spinning (i.e., turning wool into thread). Go check it out! You'll be glad you did!
