The Waldo Theatre invites local makers and movie lovers to two upcoming Craft Cinema afternoons: "cozy community gatherings designed for anyone who loves to craft while enjoying a great film surrounding by other creatives," said The Waldo, in a news release.

Clueless will be on the screen Sunday, November 30, at 4 p.m.

The Holiday follows on Saturday, December 7, at 4 p.m.

Craft Cinema is a relaxed get-together where guests can bring their current projects (knitting, crocheting, embroidery, sketching, or anything that keeps their hands happily busy) and unwind with a movie in the company of fellow makers. The theater lights will remain on to ensure comfortable crafting throughout the film. All skill levels (and movie lovers) are welcome.

"Just bring your craft supplies and settle in," said the Waldo, in the release.

The Waldo's Craft Cinema Sundays are inspired by Juliet of Sew Hooked Crochet, the founder of Craft Cinema Nights in Melbourne, Australia. Juliet launched Craft Cinema Nights in 2024 after growing tired of leaving the house without a project in hand plus wanting to connect with other local crafters. What began as a simple idea has blossomed into a feel-good night out for artists of all kinds.

"Her mission continues to guide our own Craft Cinema gatherings," said the Waldo. "At Craft Cinema Night, you’ll find a beloved film paired with a warm, welcoming environment where everyone can slow down, meet like-minded makers, and enjoy a wholesome outing doing what they love. Bring your latest project, grab some popcorn, and enjoy some well-deserved, uninterrupted crafting time. The holidays are coming up! Get your crafting time in with is at Craft Cinema!

"Coming alone?" the release continues. "No worries! We’re friendly and you can connect with other kind crafters before the film starts. Or not! Just hunker down and do your thing! See you soon!"
