Learning a craft like sewing is tremendously rewarding, and even more so when someone complements your bag, pants, blanket, or shirt and you get to say, "thanks! I made it".

Join a summer sewing class at the Grove House Sewing Studio in Florence, MA this summer and learn to sew in a welcoming, joyful, and mistakes-friendly environment. Can't make a class? Sign up for a private sewing class and receive specialized support.

Brand-new to machine sewing, or has it been so long that it seems like it? Jazzed about making your own clothes or accessories but want some support starting out? OR Do you know what you want to make and could use some guidance and encouragement? With sewing, you never run out of things to learn.

Come join a class at the Grove House Sewing Studio in the Brushworks Arts and Industry Building in Florence, MA.

Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.
