Hometown Studio Opens a Hands On Craft Studio and Craft Cafe in Madison
Madison makers have a new home base. Hometown Studio is open at 525 Hughes Rd, Suite F, a hands on craft studio built by Catherine, a former first grade teacher turned stay at home mom turned naptime crafter, and her husband Kaden. The studio's own story starts with an embroidery machine in November 2018, a first party in 2021, and the realization that making things with people is even better than making things for people.
The newest draw is the Craft Cafe: just walk in and make something. There is no booking and no studio fee; you pick a craft from the menu and pay for what you make, then grab a seat, take your time, and leave with something you made. Walk in hours are Saturdays, 9 AM to 1 PM, and the studio welcomes ages 8 and up. The studio also hosts workshops and private parties by booking.
Regular hours posted by the studio are Thursday 6 PM to 8 PM, Friday 4 PM to 9 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 9 PM, and Sunday 1 PM to 8 PM. As Catherine tells it, the hope is that it feels like crafting in their home, and that visitors find a little community of their own.
