TWIN CITIES AREA PRIVATE WORKSHOPS
We realize our planned classes don't always fit into your schedule, so here's a great new way to make our workshops work for you! With as few as four people, you can host a private class at your home and we'll come to you. A fun, easy and relaxing way to learn about stenciling, this also makes a unique gift idea for family & friends. With plenty of options for workshops, classes start at just $75 per person (min. 4) and run about 2-1/2 hrs. (Additional time for set up and break down will add about and hour to the overall time needed to host class). Please contact us with any questions you may have.
IT'S EASY - all you have to do is gather a few friends together; select a class and choose a date - we'll set up everything for you!
IT'S CONVENIENT - we come to you and fit into your schedule; we'll supply all the materials to work with, even tables and chairs if necessary.
IT'S ECONOMICAL - this isn't your average "home party", no high pressure sales or pushy recruiting. We simply provide product samples and offer a 10% discount on any orders placed at the class, should you wish to do so.
Like the idea of a private workshop, but not necessarily at your house? Reserve our studio in Ellsworth! You'll save at least $5-10 per person when you reserve our studio for your workshop (and reap additional benefits as well). We'll help you organize a delightful day with your friends by starting off with a morning class. Afterwards enjoy an afternoon of antiquing and unique shops in our nearby river towns; or a perhaps a simple Great River Road drive and an excellent meal is more appealing.
We also have a small studio in Minneapolis that can be reserved upon request. There are many options to consider, call us and we'll set up something special just for
you!
