There's something about making something with your hands that takes the pressure off a night out. You're focused, you're moving, and before long you're talking to the person next to you about nothing in particular — and then about everything.

IRL hosts popup craft nights at breweries and bars across Connecticut, bringing a rotating set of projects to venues around the state. Past workshops have included glassware decorating, mosaic coasters, neon sign making, needle punch, and more. No experience needed. Just show up.
