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

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.
I find Charolotte’s mixed media work very inspiring. I love her use of the pant hangers to be genius. So many times those lose
their grip for pants but to be able to recycle them for art is brialliant. I look forward to trying it myself .
Thank you Charlotte for sharing.
Have a wonderful conference. I wish I was coming. Maybe next time as it looks like a pure blasts.
