The Creative Connection

If you’re interested in textile design, then you’ll want to get to know Lizzy House better at THE CREATIVE CONNECTION.  Being an expert quilter and a well known textile designer, Lizzy has written an ebook to help you navigate your way in the world of textile design. 

Her classes will either have you making a Peeps Boot (her take on a Christmas stocking) or an Illustrated Travel Journal.  Both will leave you tingling with creative energy.

You can read more about Lizzy and her creative adventures on her blog.

Maybe you’ve tried building a business with your creative talents, or perhaps you’re already there?  Somewhere along the way you realize that you need a few business or legal questions answered to do it right. 

We’ve thought of that!  We have the beautiful Rebekah Teal helping you navigate the not so fun side of building a creative business.  Her Law Maze class will give you the insight and answers you’ll need. 

Rebekah also blogs at MaryJanesFarm as The City FarmGirl.

In her own words, she describes her Law-Maze class.

I developed Law-Maze(TM) to support women* with a dream: a dream of  becoming an entrepreneur. This workshop eases the pain of birthing a business by guiding participants through all the confusing and murky business and legal mazes that are a necessary part of becoming your own boss.
Law-Maze(TM) is a series of innovative programs that gives the participants tools for their personal entrepreneurial success.
In no time at all, you’ll know how to tip-toe, walk, or skip through the mazes and come out on the other side, empowered to take your business idea and RUN with it.
You got the guts? Law-Maze(TM) will give you the tools.

*While the program was originally developed for women entrepreneurs, men are welcome too! No gender bias here!

Nothing makes Charlotte happier than to sit and create in her cozy studio using her scissors and glue and making due with what she has.  She’s a genius when it comes to using home felted wools, stitching her way into creating her next work of art.  She’ll be teaching 2 classes for us at TCC.

Home is Here Textile Banner 

All levels welcome.  No need to already know how to sew.  Now that’s my kind of project.

The Book Bag

Who doesn’t love a unique bag? This bag created from an old book will garner many compliments.

We know you’ll love Charlotte’s classes!

Charlotte Lyons designs and makes things in a variety of styles and media. Inspired by the humble simplicity of traditional art and craft, in addition to the inventive use of repurposed materials, Charlotte aims to mix an unfussy playfulness with the vintage charm of handmade keepsakes. Over the years, her work has been featured in her books (Mothers and Daughters at Home, Between Friends), books with Mary Engelbreit and Barbara Martin, and also in magazines such as Country Living, Victoria, Woman’s Day, Better Homes and Gardens and Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion. Currently, she designs for licensing and teaches workshops nationally. Born and educated in St. Louis, Charlotte raised three artistic daughters in a bright pink house in Chicago. Now she and her husband live in the lower Hudson River Valley of New York, happy to have their girls (and their guys) nearby.

Learning to Screen Print is another skill you can check off your list when you’re attending THE CREATIVE CONNECTION.  We’ll have the talented Celina Mancurti teaching Fun With Screen Printing.  You will leave her class with four screen printed linen napkins or placemats  stitched with tiny pockets to hold handwritten messages. You’ll even get to sew on a couple of vintage buttons to finish off your project.  This class is limited to 15 people, so be sure to get yourself registered. 

You can read more about Celina here, or click here for more information on the class she’s teaching.
