This post is your full 2026 HobbyScool events calendar, so you can:

How HobbyScool Events Work
HobbyScool events are built around a simple idea:
creativity works best when it’s consistent, welcoming, and pressure-free.
What you can expect from our events:
Virtual workshops you can join from anywhere
A mix of hands-on projects, reflection, and practical instruction
Creative topics that span art, crafting, wellness, organization, and seasonal living
Some people attend one event a year.
Others build their creative rhythm around the full calendar.
Either way, you’re welcome here.
