New workshop alert! Join me for an incredibly fun set of workshops at in East Vancouver, WA May 2nd. The studio is intimate and inspiring, I feel lucky to be able to offer some of my most popular workshops here next month. These classes are great for anyone who has never tried working with leather before or if you’ve been dabbling and want to expand some of your skills. I’ve been teaching for 2.5 years and working with leather for over 10 years. Look forward to creating with you! Ticket link in my bio

2025 is for Community Connection
Last year was such a special year of workshops, markets, events, and connection. I had a great time at slinging belts and chatting with my regulars, teaching tweens and adults to get creative, and all the events peppered through.
I’m gearing up for all the same things this year that really gave me life and appreciation last year.

This post is to let you know I’ll be expanding my workshop offerings this year and hosting them at my on-farm studio in Yacolt, WA - just 50min north of PDX. These are ticketed classes, but don’t worry- I’ll still be working with the library and other groups to offer free, introductory classes as well.

I can’t wait to hang out and teach you a new craft or some new skills.

I’ll be at this SUNDAY 1-4pm
With all the leather gifts and belts ❤️
Pick out a variety of small gifts like keychains, barrettes, coasters or ornaments, add some initials or cute stamped designs for that hard to shop for friend.

Or shop the belt buckle collection in its entirety! It’ll be a great time.

I’ve been extremely quiet on here! Social media and phone use started having a negative impact on my day to day mental health and I realized I needed to take a step back. I was inspired by so many artists and friends who have done the same and talked about the struggles of navigating work-life balance in regard to social media and running a business.

I’m still busy but I’ve been focusing more on my immediate community; workshops(so much fun!), local businesses, farmers market, word of mouth. It’s been so nice being able to be more involved with face to face, though I’ve made many lovely friendships on here.

I’m still here, popping in every now and then, but I’m not chasing that white rabbit as of right now. My DMs are always open and hope all of you are taking care of yourselves ❤️
