Just minutes from downtown Austin, CRAFT is a vibrant, open-concept studio designed for makers of all kinds. With seating for 30 and standing space for up to 50, the space is fully stocked with an extensive library of DIY tools and supplies—perfect for workshops, private events, or spontaneous creative sessions.
Founded in 2013 by Eli Winkelman, CRAFT was born from her vision of a shared craft room for the city—“like a gym, but for making stuff.” After years of storing supplies under her bed and craving a place to get messy, she created a space where anyone, from beginners to seasoned crafters, could explore their creativity without limits.
Eli, a proud Austin native and Scripps College alum, is also the founder of Challah for Hunger, a national nonprofit highlighted by President Bill Clinton in his book Giving. While she has no formal art training, Eli’s lifelong love of making things and passion for building community continues to shape CRAFT’s mission: to inspire creativity, connection, and joy, one project at a time.
