Figma Field Days: NYC Maker Night

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Index Space in Chinatown, NYC!
Step away from your screens and immerse yourself in hands-on creativity with clay, paper, drawing tools, and more. You'll leave with a unique creation, infused with the energy you wish to carry into summer, plus new friends to share it with.
At Figma, we cherish the joy of making, and this event embodies that spirit: an opportunity to pause, trust your instincts, and create something truly personal. No prior artistic experience is necessary!
