We're getting super crafty with it....

...in the Craftville pop-up shop!

In addition to bringing Craft Night back we will also be teaching classes! 

Robyn will be leading a class on how to turn your empty wine bottles into outdoor lanterns. Not only is this a great upcycling project but these lanterns can transform your back yard or patio into a beautiful living space. We will supply all of the materials. There is a $10 fee for this class. For class times check out the class schedule at the end of this blog post.

 

 

 

 Emily will be teaching a class on making super adorable wine toppers out of your old corks. Why throw those corks away when you can reuse them! These wine toppers make great gifts and can add some personal flair to your wine collection. We will supply all of the materials. There will be a $5 fee for this class. For class times check out the class schedule at the end of this blog post.
