New Year New Classes
Everyone’s in the pre-holiday mood, but I’m working on my plan to combat cabin-fever in January and February, and I think I’ve found it. What better way to beat the mid-winter blues than crafting! These two classes are designed to be beginner-friendly. If you’re a journaler or novice or accomplished sewing expert, you will find some new skills to compliment your current practice.
Join us at Give Rise Studios, a lovely light-filled space that nurtures your creative spirit in all the right ways.
