It's time for classes!

July 2020 Classes

Get ready to have some fun!

We are slowly getting back to a normal rythym again.  We are still limiting class size to 6 and it seems to be working well.  There is a nice energy in the room and there is plenty of room for us to keep that safe distance recommendation.  I hope you'll join us when you feel comfortable enough.  

Demo Day has become Preview Day.  We don't feel it is appropriate to have a hands on Make 'n Take yet (that day will come!) so we tried a new approach last Saturday.  We offered a Make 'n Take Kit to Go.  Everything was ready for coloring and assembly.  I wasn't sure how many to make but we handed out all 28 of the kits I prepared!  Yay!  

I did color it later as I hadn't quite figured out what I wanted to use.  As I was taking the pics for the class schedule it occured to me that the Stabilo Woody Pencils would be perfect.  I simply took a wet brush directly to the pencil as it is a watersoluable "crayon" of sorts and voila'....quick and easy!  We used the beautiful "Happy Butterflies" stamp set.  I have 2 sets left and if you purchase one I'll print out the directions for you..

Lisa's July class schedule is filled with a good balance of card and mixed media classes.  There is something here for everyone.
