The Together We Craft tour is designed to bring the best in-person crafting experience possible to YOUR city. You get all of my tips and tricks, you get to experience first hand how to assemble all these projects (and take them home with you), you get to ask as many questions as possible in 3 hours and you get to use all of my favorite products!
In every city I will be partnering with a craft celebrity local to that city for double the expertise and double the fun!
The first in this series is in Los Angeles featuring Claudia Gonzales from Miss Olivia Rose Shop. We will be putting on 4 different workshops, so you can take 1 or all 4 workshops. We worked on our best projects to bring from our craft rooms straight to your hands. You'll get the design tips and the experience of assembling the projects. And in the end, walk out of the workshops with the know-how and the confidence to keep on creating and crafting.
