All ages/levels welcome. This is a FREE, pre-recorded event, learn more and watch here at 10:00am on Valentines Day! I'm excited and hope that this will inspire people who don't draw much to give it a try!  

2/17 - Metropolitan Museum of Art Virtual School Break Program - Kente Creation

CreativeBug "Hair Accessory Trio" Video Launch

I'm so excited to announce the first of my DIY videos with CreativeBug has just launched! During this video you'll learn how to make three essential hair accessories - a bow, a headband and a scrunchie. These projects can easily be customized to your style by choosing a fabric that feels like you. Click here to watch and learn!

A little behind the scenes detail, we taped the classes in my home this past October. I felt it was unsafe to travel to San Francisco where CreativeBug's studio is located so they agreed to partner with us remotely. It was cool to set everything up and make it work. Shoutout to the tiny team who masked up and joined me for the three-days of filming! 
 
Enjoy and please send us photos or tag us with what you make! 
 
** Insert Confetti!**

DIY Face Mask Making (4/28 + 5/5) 4P

 

I'm hosting a series of Make A Mask workshops. The next classes are on Tuesday the 28th at 4p EST (and again on Tuesday, May 5th, at the same time). I will show you how to hand sew your own face mask. Pay what you can. Suitable for adults and children. You don't need amazing sewing skills - just the running stitch or the back stitch (if you're feeling fancy). If you don't have fabric you could use something cotton that you already own.
