Studio Talk – May 2009
Posted on 4/28/2009 at 11:18:52 PM
What an awesome April we had here at the studio! We had a full workshop for our Folk Art Quilting. I am reminded again and again what creative customers we have here in the studio. The unique designs created for the quilt motifs were stunning and the group couldn’t have been more enthusiastic! Remember, if you are in this workshop, we want photos to display of your finished quilts. As this was such a popular workshop, we’ve decided to put it on the schedule again. So, if you missed out the first time, you’ll have another chance in July!
By popular demand, we have an Amy Butler brand workshop! If you’ve always loved her fabrics, here’s your chance to use her Barcelona Skirt pattern and make a gorgeous skirt, fitted to your own measurements, in time for summer! This is the perfect workshop for a beginner, as you’ll learn to read a commercial pattern, make a lining and place an invisible zipper. This workshop will be in three parts (unusual for us!) and, as always, everything from your Amy Butler fabric, pattern and instruction is included! This workshop is limited to six participants and begins May 26th. You’ll love it!
Mother’s Day is coming!!!! What are you doing for your mother? Why not spend a few hours with her making luscious body and bath products? Create your own whipped hand cream, lip balm and bath fizzies in this workshop for two. You’ll never want store-bought body products again. Once you learn a bit of the alchemy behind using base elements like waxes, emulsifiers and butters that make your favorite store bought products so deliciously wonderful, you’ll be amazed! What a fun way to spend some time with mom AND learn a new craft! Even better, our Mother’s Day Special workshop takes place on Saturday, 5/16, so you can still do the family thing with mom on Sunday!

Screen Printing (or silk screening, whatever you prefer!) is proving to be one of our most popular workshops! Our May workshop is already full, but there’s another in June that still has room, so don’t miss out on this uber-fun workshop! This versatile printing process lets you apply an image to all sorts of things – clothes, other textiles, paper, your wall, or basically any flat surface! After learning the basics you can make T-shirts for all of your friends, design your own greeting cards… the list goes on!
