Come and Play!

We have several offerings for creative workshops in my studio, and have reserved a spot for several who want to "come and play."  We still have a few openings...so if you have any interest, please call or email me to reserve your spot.  vintageartsstudio@hotmail.com or (913) 963-2985.


Refer to my previous post at the following link with all of the details of the workshops that my Mom and I offer:

Our workshops cater to women who want to make something, but don't take the time, or don't feel like they can be creative.  Our workshops are intimate and hands on...we make it easy for you to create something that you will enjoy making, and love to take home, while sharing time with other like-minded women!


We also have guest instructors that teach workshops in my studio...

See the photos below to get an idea of the workshop setting in my studio...
These girls had fun "playing."

A Success in Spite of the Rain!

We had a great turn out and a successful sale, in spite of the rain!  A special thank you goes to those of you who came by the first morning, when we were closed due to the rain.  We appreciated you being patient with us!   I believe most everyone who stopped by the sale took a treasure home with them that they couldn't live without!  A few of you even stopped by more than once!

If you have ever wanted to learn how to do Mosaics, here is a perfect opportunity to do it in a small class setting in my studio.  Penny Johnson is one of my new guest instructors who will teach this fun workshop.  During the workshop the participants will be able to create either a frame or a handheld mirror.  See the samples below of some of Penny's work, to give you ideas of color schemes, that could be done in the workshop on your mirror or frame.
