    birthdays at sticky.

    After a hiatus, I’ve managed to find my way back onto the Sticky Art Lab team! Way back when I first started my handmade business Feed the Fish co, I popped up at a winter market (in 2011!). Since then I’ve been on and off a part of Sticky –…

    forage sf.

    I signed up for a lesson in natural dye with Forage SF, a wild foods community! Our instructor Maria Finn welcomed us into her home and creative sanctuary…on a house boat! What I thought would be a morning of foraging items for dye baths, ended up also being an arts…

    kawaii snacks.

    I took a kawaii snacks gouache workshop with Yay! It’s Vica! I love painting with gouache, but I’ve not been so great at including it as an everyday life activity. So I signed myself up for a gouache workshop to get some designated gouache time on the calendar. And I…

    bookbinding.

    I received a freebie ticket to a Paper Source workshop (Thanks, Craftcation!) so I took a bookbinding class. There were only two of us in class ~ semi-private class for the win! We were quick to finish too, so our instructor shared some bonus fun things we could add to…

    felt marathon.

    Earlier this week I hung out at Rare Bird for back to back felt workshops. First, I debuted a new project: felt flower wall hangings. I’ll be teaching this class at Craftcation 2019, too! And then I was back for another College Prep Intraterm session with my felt succulent gardens…

    did you get the memo?

    I taught another felt succulent workshop at Rare Bird, but this time we designed memo boards. I had leftover wire pieces from some shelving and was thinking about how I could use them for an art project. And then it dawned on me – put a felt succulent on it!…

    Earlier this week I got to teach my felt succulent garden workshop to a group of high school students as part of their intraterm program. What a fun group of youngins and a fun week filled with self reflection and art exploration. I normally teach adult workshops; it was fun to…
