Open Studio is your time to spread out, get creative, make progress on your personal projects and enjoy the company of other makers. While the space is set up with sewing in mind, you're absolutely welcome to bring any creative project—knitting, crochet, embroidery, drawing, or anything else you're working on —this is your place.
Use our tools, enjoy the studio energy, and work at your own pace. No instruction, no pressure, just uninterrupted time to create at your own pace.

LATE
It is strongly advised to arrive early. We will need to start promptly and use every minute of our time together to ensure smooth instruction and completion of the project. The group will move through all instructions and steps at the same time. This is not a drop-in style class.
If a student arrives more than 5 minutes late, it is at the discretion of the instructor whether they can join. If a student arrives 10 minutes late, they forfeit their registration fee and space in the class.
If you suspect you will be late, contact HillaryAODell@gmail.com so we know you're on the way and don't assume you are a no-show.
