Crafty, Busy Bees

            Calhoun County is the home of many talented, crafty people and the Calhoun County Library has dedicated a program to bring them together twice a month.

Bee Creative is a program where you can come and enjoy practicing your craft. We make quilts, create felt plushies, design custom fabric wallets, and much more. However, if these projects aren’t your style, bring what you would like to do! We have had patrons make jewelry, paint, and even work on their writing skills. Bee Creative is about practicing any fun hobby in a social setting along with other crafters. If you’ve never been to a Bee Creative program, imagine walking into a friend’s house, sitting down, working with your hands, and talking about whatever is on your mind. How relaxing and productive does that sound?

Bee Creative meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month from 5 PM to 7 PM. This is an all-ages program, so don’t think it’s only for grandmas who want to knit scarves (even though we might be knitting scarves!). We have a variety of regulars and we would love to have more regulars join us.

Check out our schedule for upcoming group projects:

March 11 -  Sewing Irish chain quilts

March 25 - Painting Easter eggs

*April 8 - Creating sun clocks (see information below)

April 22 - Designing fabric coasters

May 13 and 27 - Making reusable heating pads with slipcovers

*We will make a sun clock in Bee Creative on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 5 PM. Lesa Rice-Jackson will lead this interactive STEM program. You must register for this program. Call us at 803-874-3389 to reserve a seat in this class by 8 PM on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

Depending on necessary supplies, we will occasionally have classes that require registration, but we will always give you time and opportunities to register for a seat. Most of our classes, however, do not require registration. Just come and enjoy crafting, sewing, and spending time together!

If you have a project in the works and would like some advice, or just fellowship, come join us. We would love to have you become crafty with us. We hope to see you soon!
