    No experience is necessary. Most workshops are designed for beginners, and all instruction is provided step-by-step.

    Workshop registrations are non-refundable. If you cannot attend, please contact us at least 3 days before the event to request a transfer. For full details, please review our Workshop Policies.

    Yes! We offer private workshops for birthdays, team-building events, book clubs, libraries, and community groups. Contact us to discuss options and pricing.

  • What ages are your workshops for?

    Most public workshops are designed for adults and teens. Some projects, like the Dahlia Wreath, are open to ages 12+. We also run teen and kids’ programs through libraries and community partners, which are listed on our Workshops page. Each event listing shows its age range. Planning a family or school event? We’d love to create something for your group. Contact us.

  • Do I need to bring anything?

    For most workshops, everything is provided. Just bring yourself. A few book-based workshops ask you to bring your own book:

    • Bedazzled Books: any hardcover or paperback you’d love to transform.

    • Stenciled Pages: a hardcover or paperback about 300+ pages thick, since thicker books give you more edge to paint. It can be multiple books as well.

    When a workshop is hosted at a bookstore, you can usually pick up a new book there before class. Each listing says exactly what to bring.

  • What should I wear?

    Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy. Dye, paint and ink workshops can leave marks, and we’ll let you know if old shirt is a good idea. We provide aprons for the more messy workshops.
