Announcing the First New Class of 2024

At this workshop you will create a set of 6 vintage cocktail coasters and decorate the coordinating nesting box. We will use chalk pastes and screen print stencils to get that hand drawn look.

Guests will have multiple images to choose from to make a set that is perfect for you!
