I've been following Craftivate on various social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram) for the past year or so and, until yesterday, had not been able to attend an actual event.
Last night I attended the Tile Coasters event at SoCo Wine Co. in Wallingford. It was a small group of 8 people, which was the perfect size for this type of class. There was one long table set up for us with instructions, tools, and four tiles at each seat. Another table was set up to the side with piles and piles of scrapbook paper, stickers, and other embellishments. I had brought photos with me to make my coasters, but was so taken with some of the quotes and papers available that I only used two of my photos and made my other two tiles with supplied papers.
Learning how to make the coasters was a very easy and well-described process. Because the class was so small, it was easy to ask questions and get hands-on help immediately. I hadn't been expecting there to be any need to finish the craft at home, so that was the only downside, but it gives me an excuse to get together with my friends again.
I look forward to attending more events in the future! read more
