Time to be Creative

WORKSHOP DATE

No classes till next year / Stay Tuned

RSVP is required on all workshops due to limited space.

Waiting list will be started when spaces are filled. Please let us

know If you can’t make it so someone else can join the fun.

All you have to do is pay for the material costs.

Some workshops will have a flat fee for all inclusive material kits, other workshops will have a partial fee for bulk materials provided, and a few

workshops will have attendees bring all of the materials.
