Unglued is a great headquarters for crafting workshops year-round.

Summer offers a welcome break from schoolwork, no matter how brief. It is a time to devote to leisurely activities you’ve been putting off in favor of actually passing your classes.

Make the most of this fleeting time by taking advantage of the countless art classes the Fargo area has to offer.

Unglued

Your downtown hub for cute items by local makers, Unglued on Broadway gives you multiple opportunities to learn to make amazing crafts yourself.

From tassel earrings and hand lettering, to gilded geode coasters and glasses etched with your zodiac sign, there is something for everyone and every skill level.

Follow them on Facebook to keep up with all of their amazing crafting classes year-round.

Looking for an amazing crafting experience this summer?
