Persistently Present hosts creative workshops and craft experiences designed to help people slow down, connect, and make something meaningful with their hands.

Our events are beginner friendly and welcoming to everyone, whether you craft all the time or have not picked up a paintbrush since elementary school. Each workshop includes all materials, step by step guidance, and plenty of room for creativity so every project turns out unique.

Workshops are hosted throughout the northwest suburbs and often take place in local restaurants, breweries, and community spaces, creating a relaxed environment where people can enjoy a creative night out with friends.

Persistently Present also creates DIY craft kits and hosts private craft parties, corporate events, and community workshops.

If you are looking for a fun and creative way to spend an evening, our workshops are the perfect place to try something new and leave with something you are proud of.
