Craft / Draw Together in a Tatami Restaurant

What is a Crafternoon? Crafternoon is an event where people make things side by side in a quiet relaxing afternoon, in a cafe/bar/restaurant with a tatami room. It could be drawing, painting, coloring books, knitting, journaling, writing poems, songwriting, embroidery, or anything your hands (or heart) feel like doing. The goal is to create an inclusive space, especially for neurodivergent people (specifically those with autism and/or ADHD), who enjoy what's called "parallel play," or anyone who simply likes doing something hands-on while being around others. Entrance Fee No entrance fee! Just buy a drink!

Who Can Join? Everyone, total beginners included! You don't need to identify as a neurodivergent. You don't need to be a local resident either — tourists are welcome too. If you don't have a craft, you can doodle, write, color, or simply soak in the atmosphere. Curiosity is totally enough.

What Can I Bring? Your own craft, writing, or sketch materials (coloring books welcome!) A small protective mat or cover if you’re bringing watercolor, ink, or anything that might leave a stain Camping chair + protective mat if you are not comfortable sitting on the floor. But there are chairs available right outside the tatami room ✨ Please no glitter or messy materials. The tatami deserves kindness.

Sensory Information We offer mellow lights, a relaxed atmosphere, the freedom to sit or lie on the floor in any position, and the space to stim without judgment. Please note that there is a highway that you'll cross before arriving at the venue. So please bring your own ear defenders just in case. If sitting on the tatami is difficult, there are extra seats also that allow sitting on a chair. Also, you can bring your own camping chair + mat to protect the tatami. If you have additional accommodation needs, please let us know. We'll do our best to make it work.

Event Policy Cancellation Can't make it? No worries at all. Sometimes we run out of spoons. A quick heads up, even…
