Get your winter craft on with Craftville at Watkins!

Craftville is excited about our continuing partnership with Watkins College of Art, Design and Film!  We are teaming up with their Community Education program to offer a 4 week Contemporary Craft course Tuesdays, 6-9pm, Feb. 21- March 13.

One of the reasons we are super stoked about this opportunity is that it will allow us to bring in additional instructors and have the facilities and supplies to help you delve into projects with more craft meat! We will offer three different projects areas- decoupage, resin and felting.  

Craftville co-founder Robyn will show you different ways to work with resin and all the cool things you can do with it. Shannon…(me)… will share her passion for paper and decoupage. 

 

We are very pleased to enlist the expertise of Craftvillian member, Laura McWhorter, and her Foundations in Felt skills to help you make some GORGEOUS items!

Registration is open and you can register online! If you’ve had the hankerin’ for some more involved crafting- this is it! We will send you home not only with cool craft handmade items, but the skills and knowledge to create more!
