Trail Loop
In this workshop, we will blend nature with art to create delicate and inspiring wooden hoops. Through a combination of pressed flowers, thread, and fabric, we will craft unique, nature-inspired compositions
This workshop is perfect for anyone who loves handmade crafts. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a desire to create
felting
A playful and inspiring workshop where soft wool comes to life in your hands! Learn the art of needle felting to create charming 3D creatures—mushrooms, tiny animals, and other whimsical forms—or craft a vibrant 2D “painting” from colorful wool fibers. Whether you choose sculptural or pictorial, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation full of texture, character, and your personal touch. Perfect for anyone who loves creativity, nature, and a bit of magic!
gelli plate printing
A hands-on gelli printing workshop for ages 11 and up, where participants explore layers, textures, and happy accidents using a soft, reusable gelli plate. Working with paint, natural elements, and everyday materials, we’ll experiment with color and image-making in an intuitive, playful way. No experience needed.
The big picture
Create collaborative wall art from a photo you love—on as many canvases as you’d like, depending on the number of participants. Perfect for families, friends, birthdays, or team-building. I’ll hand-sketch the image, provide all materials, and guide you through the process. Join me in my studio or I’ll bring the workshop to you—then watch your individual pieces come together as one striking artwork to treasure.
