Join us for a delightful afternoon of creativity and connection in the beautiful Dolores Park! 🌳✨

Meet recent San Francisco resident Aaron Nelson as Bazi partners with him to create an outdoor analog craft experience. This event is all about vintage magazines, glue, sunshine, and the meaningful conversations that aren't possible at a brunch table with your phone out.

• Curated vintage magazines, decorative paper, and vintage ephemera
• Glue sticks
• Cardstock + backing board for your final collage piece
• Step-by-step guidance from Sadaf, the founder

• An atmosphere where strangers become friends

🎒 What to Bring:

• A blanket or beach towel to sit on
• Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses
• Layers for the unpredictable San Francisco summer
• A tote bag to carry your masterpiece home
• Optional: Drinks & snacks (alcohol-friendly)
• A willingness to keep your phone tucked away for a couple of hours of crafting and connection 🌞

🕐 What to Expect:

• Arrive 10 minutes early to find the Bazi blanket and claim your seat
• Enjoy a short introduction followed by paper sorting (30 min)
• Crafting time (1.5 hours) with breaks for real conversations and snack runs
• Wrap up with show-and-tell and a closing circle (15 min)

💛 About Bazi:

Bazi, meaning "play" in Persian, is a San Francisco-based maker brand dedicated to running craft workshops for adults who want to rediscover their creative spirit. We believe that play is medicine, capable of holding the stress and noise of the world in exchange for your attention and hands.
