Present

Being here fully / A gift
 
Let’s be present, making presents –a sequence of studio dates for us to gather to make gifts for the holidays.
 
Come with an idea or with no idea. Come with a loved one; a sister, your mother, your partner, a friend… Or come with yourself. Martha will host you and guide you in a retreat like setting studio surrounded by quiet and nature where we will flip the current scenario. No rush, no stress. No consumption of throw away goods. Share the gift of presence and of creativity and in the process find the gift of connection.
 
Three, 3.5 hour sessions for only $111 per person for the three weeks [10.5 hours] or $55 per person per session. Studio sessions: November 16 CLOSED, December 7, 14 from 1-4:30 Marshall, NC / November 24, 30, December 1 Tampa, FL from 1:30-5].
 
 
You will leave with presents and yet with much more than that. There will be snacks, tea and some materials at the studio. Some of the material will be available for purchase at reasonable prices. Otherwise we’ll come up with a material list for you to gather between sessions. The first session, as needed will be used to brainstorm, design and plan out the projects. Bring a sketchbook and any materials of your choice, if you already have them.
 
$111 for three session [CLOSED, only individual sessions left]

Individual 3.5 hour sessions – $55 each
