Remember when I started a beading club? We made…
Wish Bracelets
Painted Bead Statement Necklaces
Polymer Clay Jewelry Charms
Mala-Inspired Necklaces
and Layered Bangle Bracelets!
And now, drumroll please – After a hiatus in 2025, I’m teaming up again with Sticky Art Lab to offer a Crafternoon series in 2026 to explore different creative projects, with kids in tow!
More details!
This is a special “for grown ups and their littles” series, where adults come to create (with me!) in one room and (optionally) kids come to explore in the other (with Teacher Pollyanna!). And it sprouted from the idea that we wanted more crafting time in community in a space that welcomed kids. Head to the event page for tickets and specifics!
The schedule!
