Love is in the air at The Craft Lounge, and we can’t help but want to spread it around. At TCL Craft Club, we’ll guide your kids through making valentines for their classmates, which means no mess at your house! (We might even help the little darlings make something for you!) And how about teacher? We’ll show you and the kids how to make her some heartfelt sweetheart soaps. And let’s not forget classes for the grownups — handmade valentines or soaps are a great way to show your friends and loved ones you care.

Bold, sophisticated, stunning – Ellen Cohen’s one-of-a-kind pieces of art are a joy to wear. The Craft Lounge is honored to carry Ellen’s exquisite line of jewelry and thrilled to announce an exclusive one-night trunk show where you’ll have the opportunity to meet Ellen and see one-of-a-kind pieces that will only be available for this special evening. Cohen is known for her sculptural aesthetic, her meticulous attention to detail, and her eclectic mix of unusual gemstones – such as green garnets, lapis, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and smoky quartz. You’ll find a visually-stimulating mix of sleek and delicate pieces, as well as unique hand-fabricated sterling silver bracelets and necklaces. We hope you’ll feel as good wearing Ellen’s jewelry as she feels creating it.

Fall into the Lounge!

Posted by on August 13, 2009

We’ve had a great summer at The Craft Lounge — TCL Craft Camp was a big success with the kids, and we enjoyed having so many customers come in for private lessons in knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery and more. It’s hard to believe that autumn is almost here, but we’re so excited for September! We have so much on the calendar, there’s bound to be something for everyone — kids, teens, and adults.

We’re gearing up for school and rolling out our brand-new TCL Craft Club for kids on Wednesdays. This month, the Craft Club will be doing lots of cool back-to-school crafts and next month will delve into spooky Halloween projects. Also, September is National Sewing Month, and we’ll be offering sewing classes such as Sew a Pillow to introduce you to this fun, practical craft. We’re also offering Needle Felting for Beginners, Knit a Bag, Simple Beading: Earrings, and much more! Our Drop-In Crafting program has been a huge hit and we’ll continue to offer this option, adding in t-shirt reconstruction and beading to the mix in September.

For class descriptions, dates, and times, please check our calendar. Register online, call us at 201-944-3311, or stop by the shop to sign up!

Please note that we will be closed for vacation from August 15 – August 29. We look forward to seeing you at The Craft Lounge when we return, fresh for fall!
