Join The Hobby Hopper Beta

We’re selecting 5–7 local instructors and studios to test our platform, list classes, and help shape what we build.

Hobby Hopper is a new way for adults in the Raleigh-Durham area to discover and book hands-on creative and exploratory classes. We’re building a local-first platform, and we’re inviting a small group of instructors and studios to join our free beta.

What Is
Hobby Hopper?

A subscription-based platform helping adults discover creative classes in the Triangle while helping instructors fill their rosters.Hobby Hopper is for people who’ve always wanted to try something new — pottery, painting, woodworking, glass blowing, and more — but don't know where to start.Our platform makes it easy to explore hobby classes using a monthly credit system. And for providers, we help your offerings become more visible, bookable, and consistent — with less marketing effort on your end.

A Note From Me (The Person Behind HobbyHopper)I’m Heather — a creativity lover and community builder.I believe in creating a network that enables individuals to explore, create, and learn.I built Hobby Hopper because I believe that creativity and new experiences should be easier to access and that instructors shouldn’t have to spend all their energy filling seats.I’m not a big company. I’m just a person building something I wish existed. I’d love to have you shape it with me.
