If it weren't for Facebook and their events I wouldn't have ever discovered this crafting studio on…read moremy own. Gotta love the power of Facebook! Since I "liked" their page I've been meaning to check them out. It took me awhile but finally got there last Friday night for a book reading/crafting event for kids for $5 I knew a little about the business and what they offered from Facebook but didn't really understand the concept till I was there. You can craft here a number of ways. On their walls they have tons of completed projects that can be customized just for you. Mainly the trendy graphic signs and such. For a fee they provide all the supplies, crafting space, and additional materials (glues, etc) as well as instruction. For graphic signs you pick from their enormous supply of specialty papers and they'll cut out the design on their circuit machine, provide instruction than you complete the project. You can customize the print, size, font, papers, and the backboard. You *may* even be able to bring your own design to them to see if it's something they can do. The crafting space is spacious and cozy - the perfect space to connect with friends and socialize while you craft. An added bonus is they do the clean up! While the projects on display are not for sale they are priced so you know how much it will cost to make. While I did feel the prices were the same or higher than buying the project premade from Etsy (for example) the experience and girls night out would make up for it. In addition to crafting on your own they offer workshops for specific projects ranging from graphic signs to string art - both for adults and children. The event we attended was a few days before Christmas. The children were encouraged to come in their jammies to hear a Christmas story, drink hot cocoa, than craft a wooden ornament. All for only $5! Our girls loved the experience and as grandparents we enjoyed that the painting, glue, and mess wasn't in our house! We'll definitely be back to craft some more.

Just Brenda Art Studio is the kind of place that makes living in York exciting, trendy, edifying,…read moreand just plain fun! Brenda Wintermyer, the owner and artist, is a warm, well-read, well-traveled woman who is dedicated not only to her art but to updating and revitalizing the downtown area of York City. From the minute you walk through her door and climb the stairs to her studio you know you are in the presence of something wonderful and possibly life-altering. She greets you with the enthusiasm of a long-lost friend. She will stop whatever she is doing to talk with you...and be prepared to spend some time because there is so much to talk about! As you wander through her studio, which is on the small side but jam-packed with wonderful things to look at, Brenda will happily explain to you the history behind each piece, what inspired it, why she created it, and if it is part of a series. Brenda also holds art classes for the beginner as well as the more experienced artist. Her teaching style is to encourage the student and instruct without ever making the student feel unaccomplished (or in my case, hopeless!) Brenda's studio is open every First Friday event in downtown York, and many old friends as well as some new ones, can be found drinking tea or wine, chatting, and just enjoying the warmth and bonhomie that Brenda naturally engenders. Stop in sometime and say hi!
