Happy 2012 to all of you!

This year, I am looking forward to offering a variety of classes and workshops taught by awesome instructors who promote the creative journey and embrace domestic artistry as a "cool thing"! In February, look for a combined sewing & culinary experience with Valerie Kanzansky of Carmel Cooking Coach teaching us how to make sweet & savory crepes while we don custom aprons. Betty Withrow will be teaching a class on crocheted granny squares.  A Beginning Sewing Series will start in March as will the much requested T-Shirt Quilt class. Stay tuned-sew much more to come! And I am thrilled to have an official "Studio Baby" with the arrival of Vivianna Beck.

JANUARY CLASSES

2012 Journal Journey High Tea-where art and thought meet the page

Journals have been used for centuries to record random thoughts, inspiring ideas, goals, aspirations and doodles that collage together and become a snapshot of our lives.  Journal Journey High Tea at Bella’s Studio led by guest instructor, Alana Puryear, is your opportunity to cultivate those moments of self-expression and creativity; unplug and find solace in the blank page of a journal.  As a group, we will meet quarterly to learn new techniques and share our entries. High Tea will be served to arouse and nourish our contemplations.

Alphabet Soup Pillow Class

Create your own version of the current graphic trend of Letter Pillows (see jonathanadler.com for inspiration). Spell out a phrase or stitch a single letter on to a pillow cover with a sham back. An easy and fun project for the beginner to advanced sewer.
