HCCC is open today but there is no Hands-on Houston event due to the holiday. Please join us for next month’s event on August 2nd!

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month (except in January and July). Each month, a teaching artist or guild demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Community members of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15–20-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft.
