Handcraft Studio School

Hello HCSS Community. After being closed for the past two and a half months we have made the heartbreaking decision to close our doors. This choice was not made lightly and the grieving for this loss has just begun. Facing the uncertain future of what lies ahead for indoors, in-person, real life experiences, along with a massive loss of revenue during the closures, it became clear that this is how we must move forward. The experience of watching the studio flourish has been a... complete honor. Witnessing artists teach students, students inspire artist, friendships grow, creativity blossom and a community being born is something I will treasure forever. The studio was so rich thanks to the amazing artists that shared their skills with us and the powerful students who joined us to learn. Thank you deeply for your support, encouragement and participation over the past seven years. Please continue to create together and support the many artists that inspire you. With so much love and respect. Marie (If you were registered for a workshop that we had to cancel due to SIP orders we will be contacting you individually within the coming weeks) See more
