Hobby Culture

(Mar.11.10)
Culturites have always been obsessed with old-fashioned hobbies.
It takes us back to our youth and days of jewellery-making, arts & crafts, knitting with grandma, piano lessons, gardening with mom, miniature collections (OK, you get the ideas).
Call us old-fashioned, but we love the resurgence of such hobby sports as fly fishing, sewing, bridge, bread making, gardening, taxidermy…oh my!!! The once-nerdy cultural activities are taking a turn and being enjoyed by even the most jaded of hipsters.
Not sure about you but we welcome this changing of the winds and are excited to launch two upcoming events in this vein: Archery lessons for our Toronto members this Spring and in NYC, we’re hitting the West Side Rifle & Pistol Range for a second year of shooting lessons.
What about you - what are your old fashioned hobbies?
