block printing

Angela Caley is well known as the face/owner/creator behind the lifestyle brand PlantLife Clothing, in which she hand draws and carves block prints of nature inspired designs that she then prints of a variety of garments which she sells at several locations across the country. Block printing for her brand sparked a new passion, even a bit of an obsession, that she looks forward to sharing with you!

Holiday table runner pop-up

We are so excited to be teaming up with another local creative to bring you this opportunity to create a one of a kind heirloom table runner to add to your holiday table.

We will be joining Tammy of Tammarie Designs in her studio for a special make and take event.

Tammy will share her sewing expertise to help students create a holiday themed table runner. Once sewn Deb will help students add a holiday-themed block print to the runner to complete it. The finished table runner can be further personalized by adding family signatures around the block during your holiday celebrations.
