Hand Lettering: Custom Return Address Stamp

Our first Hand Lettering workshop was a major success!! Students learned the basic principles of typography while sipping on watermelon margarita granitas. Everyone was given the chance to design and draw their own personal return address stamp. . .

Didn't they turn out amazing?!?

Basic Woodworking: Moscow Mules + Power Tools

We were both so pumped for this workshop and it didn't disappoint!  The students braved the rain on Saturday night and learned to use a miter saw, jig saw, power drill, and hammer!  The result: A killer diamond-shaped, wall-mounted jewelry holder with a copper rod.  No sitting around watching paint dry either.  In between power-tool steps we pulled up stools to our bead bar to create one-of-a-kind tasseled necklaces - the perfect summer accessory!

This is a workshop we are already putting on the books again - look out in September for Moscow Mules + Power Tools, Part Deux (class size limited)!
