Tuesday at 6pm is one of my favorite classes. Mini Watercolor Journals. The folding technique is what this one is all about. Once you get it down, you’re hooked! In class you will fold at least two mini books perfect for doodling, writing, quotes, pictures or just about anything. Come and catch mini book fever! Click here to register.

Do you have some daytime hours free and need a place to hang out and be creative? Join us for our daytime session of a Craft Rave! “What is a Craft Rave?” you ask…well, it is open studio time for you to work on whatever craft your heart desires. Have you taken a class here before and haven’t had nearly enough time to work on the skill you learned or project you started? This is the perfect time to dig in and practice. All the studio tools and supplies are at your fingertips. I’m here to show you where stuff is and remind you how things work. Best of all, it is affordable! Only $20 for 4 hours of studio time and all the coffee, tea and me you desire. Click here to reserve your table for this Wednesday from 10am-2pm.

Wednesday 6-9pm: This tree gets so much attention..it really doesn’t photograph well though. Trust me when I say, you want to make this tree and take it home with you. It is the perfect thing to hang just about any treasure on. Jewelry, charms, ornaments…or just leave it barren and enjoy its natural beauty. Tis the season for the Copper Tree…click here to register. This is one of the last times this year the class will be offered.

Wednesday 7:30-9pm is all about Scrapbooking! Scrapbook Studio is a time to come and get some serious scrapping done. Learn something new, or just come and crop. All supplies are included. All you have to do is show up with your photos and you’ll get stuff done! Click here to join us this week….make some time for yourself.

Charm School continues on Thursday at 6pm. This week we are filling charms with epoxy resin. Feel free to come armed with mini collage bits or dig into our bins of collage fodder to make them while you are here…or you can even simply take pretty paper and glue it down. The highlight of the class is mixing the two-part epoxy resin and pouring it over the images. You’ll want to leave them at least overnight in the studio to cure. The finished result is a glass like surface that magnifies whatever image is below. Click here to register for this session

Thursday 7:30-9pm: This is week two of Mixed Media Mosaics. No fear though, you can still join us and make some incredible tiles for future projects. This week we are making hand rolled tiles with white polymer clay. We are adding score marks to the clay before baking so there will be “coloring lines” to paint on later. Come empty handed, leave with tons of handmade tiles! Click here to register.
