Creativity means trying something new,
and finding meaning in the process.
Hobbyist is for the craft-curious and the forever-hobbyists
to make and connect without pressure, rules, or expectations.
Hi! I'm Sammy.
I started Hobbyist after moving to Brussels with a suitcase of my mom's craft supplies. As a new expat, hosting craft nights with my friends brought so much joy and confidence as I settled into the city. I loved meeting new faces of a growing creative community, a pocket of Brussels I wanted to bring together.
Four years later, I still love sharing moments of silly creative exploration with you all -- the transient locals looking for home away from home; the travelling passers-by wanting a true Brussels experience; and the Brusseleir who wants to show the best side of their charming city.
Come to our next event and let's make something cool together!

The Making of a Hobbyist.
It’s 1999.
I’m in my mom’s craft room, content and peaceful in her chaotically creative space. Surrounded by collected treasures, trinkets and tools for any project I can imagine.
Want to paint birthday cards, sew a tote bag or make clay magnets?
Let’s try it all, just for the fun of it.
