On Oct. 4, the Wichita Falls Museum of Arts held a Crafternoon activity.

During Crafternoon students have the opportunity to bring their own projects and work on them outside their home. Even if a student does not have a craft, educator at the museum Jennifer Mclarty has crafts for any guest.

Crafternoon provides a community for artistic freedom but it also allows opportunities for others’ opinions.

The evenet is a great way for the museum to connect with the community.

“Well it helps people to know that we are here. It gets people out and doing things together. You know sometimes we have families and other people are just MSU students who just need the space to do their kind of thing and if they need other supplies, we have all kinds of stuff,” McLarty said.

Psychology junior Aaliyah Harrison found out about this event because her friend, dental hygiene junior Kennady Carlton, invited her to come with her. Harrison was coloring some pages while Carlton was crafting letters for freshmen at Texas State.

“I was scrolling through Mustang’s link when I saw the Crafternoon event. I came to the last one. I liked it from the previous time I was here, but then the first time I saw it I just needed something to get out of the house, and to be with a friend ,” Carlton said. “I also needed to get this craft done. I needed a set time because I knew that if I was on my own I would just tell myself I’m busy but seeing this event I knew that I could go to this and get it done. I like Crafternoon, it is super calm and I like the museum here.”

If you ever need a place that feels welcoming and allows artistic expression, Crafternoon is where you should be.
