Create your own custom stationery while learning the timeless art of linocut printmaking.

This class is designed as your introduction to sewing from the ground up.
You’ll learn how to confidently use a sewing machine, including threading, bobbin winding, and understanding basic machine control. From there, we’ll move into simple stitching exercises that help you develop comfort with fabric, speed, and direction.
The focus of this level is familiarity with processes: learning how the machine feels, how fabric responds, and how you begin to use both easily.
You’ll be able to complete a small finished project if you decide to take only this class. If you decide to attend more in the sewing series, you will be able to complete a more complex project by building on it each time! (such as a piece of clothing or more structured item)
You’ll leave with:
A completed beginner project
Foundational machine sewing skills
Confidence to move into Beginner II or continue independently

Create something you’ll return to for years to come <3
In this workshop, you’ll design and craft a hand-made leather journal: so much more than just a place to write, but a little timepiece holding your inner world and memories over time.
Inspired by the timeless quality of Louise Carmen journals, this experience invites you to create something with that same sense of quality and intention, while making it entirely your own.
You’ll begin by crafting your leather cover, with the option to emboss and personalize it, and then build out the interior using a provided insert, along with a curated selection of collage materials to layer, decorate, and shape the feeling of your pages.
You can create a full-sized journal for your own everyday use, or a smaller version that can be gifted. (or both!)
You’ll also receive a cute card with journal prompts done for you to take home, offering a starting point for reflection and helping you continue your journaling practice beyond the studio.
All materials are provided. No experience needed.
Leave with a fully handcrafted leather journal, creative inspiration, and something that feels deeply personal and lasting.
