Some people are crafty mavens who seem to be able to take a piece of leather or wood and a dab of paint and turn it into a fabulous piece of art. Others need a bit more help, but long to try to create special things with their own two hands. There’s a special bar in Portland that will help even the most inexperienced guest make a special craft item – and enjoy a glass of wine, beer or cider at the same time!

If you're yearning to create something special with your own two hands, you'll want to book yourself a seat at DIY Bar.
