Sacred Studio

We are so excited to have Mary Williamson teaching our Introduction to Knitting studio!!

Mary learned to knit from her mother. Her early projects were misshapen sweaters that never fit! Years later, as a fairly young mother, she took it back up and met fellow knitters. Over the years, they have shared patterns and knitted washcloths, scarves, baby items, hats, and sweaters - you name it. When knitters want to relax or unwind from the day, out come the needles. Now that Mary's group are grannies, they still knit and love to teach others. No mistake bothers any of them because they have made them all many times.

We are over the moon to have teaching our Painted Wooden Easter Eggs studio!

Ever since Elizabeth was little, she has been creating, collecting, painting, drawing, making a mess, what she likes to call organized chaos. Her first studio was the small closet beside her den. Elizabeth's parents graciously let her use that space and fill it with art supplies. Spurred on by her excellent art teacher Mrs. Fitts in high school, Elizabeth began exploring various media. She went on to study art in college under her favorite professor Morty and learned to love the process of mark making and layers. Painting is how she processes-slowing down, watching paint dry-it's an act of worship, meditation and reflection.

Elizabeth and her husband, Josh, moved to Birmingham 4 years ago. Most of their time is spent wrangling their crew of four energetic, fun, crazy boys, Bridger, Sibbes, Holden, and Kuyper.
