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. From there you will learn a watercoloring technique using chalk paste as well. You will love creating on our Couture Boutique surfaces as they are very user friendly. Happy accidents can easily be wiped away and you can start anew!

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