Creative Play Days!
Jewelry making classes? You know I'd never share my secrets.
Classes in working with natural materials to create dimensionally fun "proud that I made this all by myself!" pieces. You betcha!
One of the things that I can't wait to share at my new Studio are classes, and get togethers, on how to make things from all natural materials. And to be able to have a little fun together.
Let me get settled. Then, someone please, remind me about doing some classes. Can't wait!
Any requests?

Previous Creative Play Days!
Basket Coiling
I've gotten a little bit better at making baskets. I really enjoyed teaching basket making classes at the Studio, and at the Historic Heathsville Heritage Arts Center on the Historic Northern Neck, last year. And I can't wait to do more...
Contact me if you'd like to pull a group of your friends together, set a date at the Studio, and let's make coiled baskets together! I now have a lot more natural foraged materials and am more than anxious to share. Drop me a note, or call me, if you have interest in a group of 4+. We'll figure out the details, and pricing. You'll take home a Coiled Basket that you made all by yourself, and we'll all have fun!

We'll be holding more Creative Play Days! in the future, too.
Keep an eye out for more classes. Grab a group of your friends and book an entire class! I'd love for you to join us!
