Anniversary Celebration Class -3 Hour Project Class

In this private project class, this precious lady surprised her Husband with a sweet, 3-hour project making session. Having no ideas in mind and no previous metal working experience, after the pleasant shock of the surprise sunk in and this awesome couple settled in! We brainstormed possibilities, as we toured the studio, being inspired by techniques, materials and possibilities, they settled on the idea of this landscape sculpture that will hang in their Families home. As we helped, guide and steer the order of operations and taught each of them how to use the tools as they created their celebration piece, by the end, as you can imagine, we had two, accomplished, inspired and connected individuals. Who took home their piece, to further invite their children to add to their creation in the finishing process through color. Special Indeed!

Mum and Daughter time - 2 Hour Project Class

When you live 1,000's of miles apart, there's nothing more fun than putting, your hearts, minds and hands together in the studio and creating decorations that will give tangible joy and be passed down through many generations to come. Serious Family Fun!

Creating your way into the next phase of your life.....

This chap came for weeks at a time, over a 4 year period, as he was transitioning out of a 40-year career, into a new semi retired entrepreneurial lifestyle. Being fully immersed in an organically facilitated, intentional, fully equipped creative playground allows you to lean into transformation, and discover the  power and purpose of your own abundant and authentic, creative self. Life changing and "Serious Fun"!
