Why Get OffBeat
We’re not a craft store or a class
We're not a craft store or a class — we're a community that happens to make things together.
Come as you are
No experience, no portfolio, no “right” skill level — just curiosity.
Real people, not a feed
An hour or two away from your phone, next to people who live in your city.
Made by makers, for makers
Every event is hosted or co-hosted by someone who actually does the craft.
Small and personal
Small-batch gatherings, not a stadium — you'll actually meet the people next to you.
What’s Coming Up
The next one is still being planned
All of them are built for beginners. Come solo or bring a friend, both work.

Meet Jasmine
Jasmine K Chadha
Embroidery Artist & Creative Director
Hi, I'm Jasmine — embroidery artist, Creative Director by day, and the person behind Get OffBeat. I picked up a needle ten years ago and never really put it down, and somewhere along the way I started wanting more of this — rooms full of people making something with their hands instead of just scrolling past each other. Get OffBeat is me building that, one gathering at a time. Come say hi.

Before You Book
The things people usually ask
I've never done this before — is that fine?
That's most of the room. Get OffBeat isn't just embroidery — we host all kinds of craft nights, and nothing here assumes you've done any of it before. There's no step you can fall behind on.
Can I come on my own?
Plenty of people do, and the table is set up so that talking happens on its own. If you would rather make things quietly, that works too.
Do I need to bring anything?
For most gatherings, just yourself — supplies are in the ticket. Craft & Yap is the exception: bring whatever you're already working on.
What if I have to cancel?
Send me a note before the day and I'll move you to another gathering when I can. For refunds, we can usually accommodate requests made up to 7 days before the event — our workshops require sourcing materials ahead of time, so we're not able to refund closer to the date than that.
