Workshops start in ONE WEEK!

Hello friends! Thanks for bearing with me while I got the workshop up and running!

Our first workshop starts in ONE WEEK! Mark your calendars for October 7th!

6:30-9pm (class starts at 7:00 sharp!)

Our first class is Chandelier Charming! We'll be making beautiful collaged and decoupaged pendant necklaces using some GREAT vintage chandelier crystals I picked up at Brimfield earlier this month! We're really kicking this semester off with a bang! These necklaces would cost you a pretty penny at an upscale boutique, but now you can start checking off your holiday shopping list once you know how to make this FAB accoutrement. AND did I mention the class will only cost you $25? Cha-ching! Handmade Giving rocks the holiday gift giving season AND saves you a few $$$ too.

We do have limited seating girls so sign up now so you aren't disappointed when the class is full. You are welcome to sign up for just one class at a time or choose to sign up for the full semester.

Everything you need will be provided for this class but feel free to bring a special book page or tiny poem or photo and I can try to help you incorporate it! (no ink jet prints please)

Getting things started

Thanks for coming by to check on the schedule for the Fall/Winter Create Everyday Workshops.

Our mission is to encourage you to live more creatively EVERY DAY. Our workshops, while an enjoyable night out with friends, both old and new, will also give you the chance to finish a task from beginning to end, to stretch your creative muscles, learn a new skill or technique and create a gift to give or to keep for yourself (because you deserve it).

This Fall/Winter Session will focus specifically on the theme of Giving Handmade. Classes are the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of October, November and December, from 6:30pm to 9pm. Classes are $25 include all the supplies you need for the project. You will occasionally be given a list of optional supplies or tools that will help you customize your project or allow you to work on your own without sharing workshop supplies. Rest assured you can always come to the studio door with a good attitude and empty hands and still be able to complete your project!

Due to current space restrictions, there is a limit of 1o students. You can sign up for any or all of the workshops. Enrollment is on a first come first serve basis. We will take names for a waiting list when each class has filled. Please send or drop off payment within 48 hours of emailing me with your reservation.
