Description:
Historic Smithfield presents their March Historic Smithfield Crafting Guild on Thursday, March 12, 2026.

Join us this winter for the Smithfield Crafting Guild, a new pilot program at Historic Smithfield designed to bring local makers together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Bring your knitting, embroidery, sketchbook, sewing, or any portable craft project and enjoy time creating and connecting in the historic cellar of Smithfield.

The cellar was once a workspace for the plantation’s enslaved workers, whose skilled labor shaped this site. As we gather to make together, we do so with respect for the history of this space and the hands that once worked here.

What to Expect:
• Informal, self-led crafting
• All skill levels welcome
• Bring your own project
• Occasional guest artisans or skill-sharing sessions
• A cozy, creative atmosphere rooted in history

Please Note:
This is a new program we are piloting this winter. Dates and times may shift as we learn more about community interest and work to make the Crafting Guild as accessible and welcoming as possible.

This is a low-pressure, come-as-you-are gathering. No registration required.

Bring a friend, meet fellow makers, and enjoy a peaceful morning of crafting at Historic Smithfield.

Historic Smithfield is located at 1000 Merry Oak Way in Blacksburg, VA.
