Where Creativity, Connection, and Community Come Together

At Joyful Create & Crop, we believe crafting is more than just a hobby – it’s a way to connect, relax, and be inspired. Whether you’re a scrapbooker, quilter, sewer, knitter, crocheter, or a lover of all things paper crafting, we invite you to join our vibrant community of creators.

Our events, hosted at Gale Presbyterian Church in Elmira, offer a welcoming and spacious environment where you can work on your projects, meet new friends, and share in the joy of making. With full-day crops, themed events, special make-and-take stations, and a give and get table, there’s something for everyone – from the casual crafter to the seasoned artist.

What We Offer:

• Create & Crop Events: Bring your projects and enjoy a full day of crafting.
• Make-and-Take Stations: Dive into quick, fun projects on-site.
• Specialty Theme Events: Celebrate the seasons, explore new skills, and welcome newcomers with beginner-friendly sessions.
• Community Give-and-Get Table: Swap and share supplies with fellow crafters.
• Exciting Raffle Prizes: Purchase your tickets for a chance to win great prizes.
• Door Prize: Everyone in attendance is entered to win the Door Prize (free entrance into the next JC&C!)

Our mission is simple: to inspire creativity, foster friendships, and support local artisans through joyful, well-organized gatherings.

Explore our upcoming events, register online, and discover how you can be part of the growing Joyful Create & Crop community. We can’t wait to create and connect with you!
