Craft Schools and Craftcations
I love to learn new things and especially love attending craft schools. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of the schools I’ve been to and would recommend. I’ve included links to any blog posts I’ve written about my classes. You can also check out the Workshops category on my blog to see them all.
Happy to chat more about my experiences at any one of these. Send me a note!
