What we’re about
We are women (female identified persons) in the Tacoma, WA area who enjoy art and crafts. TACG has been active for over 13 years as a supportive group of artist-crafters who talk, share our art, and sometimes lead each other in workshops.
We hold one or more hands-on classes per month. We also have ongoing interest groups, Paper Play/Art Journaling, Painting & Drawing, and Sewing Bee, that meet once or twice per month to work together. Â
The monthly Craft Camp sessions are a wonderful way to work on unfinished projects while being inspired by other members. In addition, we host member-only semi-annual weekend retreats as great getaways for extended crafting and fun together. We also take occasional field trips to museums, outdoor venues, and inspirational artistic locations.
If you are new to our group, you may attend three events to get to know us, and two of these events can be paid events. Paid events open to non-members are generally classes/workshops, and they are open to non-members provided that no members are waitlisted. These events are charged at a slightly higher rate than the member cost. Both the member and non-member prices are specified in the event description.
The extra fees for non-members are the following:
For classes priced $5—$19, there's a $5 add on;
For classes costing $20—$49, $10 is added;
For classes between $50 and $99, $20 is added.
Our Monthly Meeting, always free, is where we share what we have been working on and enjoy potluck snacks or lunch together. Dues for 2025 are $60.00. Membership dues pay the cost of the meetup site, refreshments, administrative fees, and subsidize some of our workshops. Dues may be paid in person to our treasurer, Nadine Glass, by cash, check, or credit card.
We'd love to meet you!
