I’m pretty transparent when it comes to the goals I have for this blog…or at least I try to be. I want to create a space that is inspiring for everyone and provides clear instruction for all sorts of crafty projects. Oh..and I also want to throw a little sass into the mix from time to time to keep things fun.
Over the last few months, I’ve been chipping away at my goals for Damask Love. It’s hard work but I love every second of it. Today, I’m excited to reveal a little something that’s been in the works for quite a while. Like every other blogger out there, I get excited when a new comment comes in or when I receive an email. It’s fun to interact with other crafters and hear your thoughts.
Soooo…with that in mind, I’m majorly excited to tell you that this summer Damask Love will go live with two, one-day crafting workshops that will give me the chance to meet you in person…and give you the chance to spend a day having fun with other creative people.
Damask Love Live is an 8-hour crafting workshop that will bring all the instruction and crafty inspiration of Damask Love blog to a live format. Throughout the day, I’ll lead you through several handmade projects using several of my favorite crafting products. In addition to a pile of handmade goodies, you’ll leave the workshop with plenty of swag and you’ll have the chance to win lots of prizes. And did I mention that lunch will be provided along with plenty of snacks to keep your crafty mojo going! This will not be your average crafternoon. It’s going to be fun…lots & lots of fun!
You will have the option of two workshop days: Friday, July 19th and Saturday, July 20th. The content on each day will be the same, so pick whichever day works best for you! On both days, Damask Love Live will go from 10:00am until 6:00pm.
I am a native of Northern California, so I’m bringing my love of crafting back to my stomping grounds! Damask Love Live will take place in Berkeley, California at Scrapbook Territory, the largest scrapbooking shop in the Bay Area. Scrapbook Territory houses 4,000 square feet of paper crafting awesomeness and it is my favorite place to shop whenever I visit home.
The store has a dedicated area where crafters can sit and create. This area will be ground zero for Damask Love Live. The crafting area seats 24 participants, so each day of Damask Love Live will accomodate only twenty-four people.
Throughout the workshop, participants will have plenty of time to shop around and explore Scrapbook Territory for any craft stash “must-haves.”
Not only will you love Scrapbook Territory, you’ll also love the area. Scrapbook Territory is located on 4th Street in Berkeley, California. 4th Street has tons of restaurants, retail, cafes and even a couple more shops that any crafter would love, like Paper Source. Once you’ve finished your day of Damask Love Live, you may just want to hang out a bit longer to explore the area or grab dinner!
This workshop is open to everyone, no matter your crafting skill level! Full details including pricing and ticket purchasing will be available here on Damask Love on Monday, May 20, 2013. If you are in Northern California, or nearby – take a look at your summer calendar! I would love to meet you and spend the day crafting together!
And just to give you a taste of what to expect…here’s a sneak peek at a few of the invited sponsors of this event! What’d I tell you ….it’s gonna be awesome!
I wonder how much a flight from the UK to California is……………
$800…… Perhaps you could do Damask Love Live on Tour 🙂 (Don’t know how to do a hopefull emoticon!)
LOL! Tara, you are too funny! First – I can’t believe that you actually checked prices for a flight!!! Damask Love Live on Tour would me AMAZING! I can’t promise anything, but you never know! If this round is successful, there may be bigger and better events in the future (I don’t know how to do a hopeful emoticon, either!)
So looking forward to this coming to Texas. Come to TEXAS!!!
LOL! You are too cute, Angela! If I do come to Texas, I will certainly let you know! I would love to travel all over the country and do these workshops! That would be a dream come true for me!
oh my, this is so exciting! Nothing like this ever happens in my neck of the woods!!! I live 30 minutes from Berkeley and love 4th Street! So looking forward to this and to get to meet you too, wow, so exciting!
Hey, that’s pouwefrl. Thanks for the news.
So bummed to miss this. I will be away from N. CA that weekend! Much success!
Aww, poops! If this round goes well, I hope to return and do more workshops like this! There may just be another chance for us to get crafty together!
Can’t wait for the rest of the details next week. I’m not to far away, Reno, Nev. so it’s definitely doable.
Awwww. I wish you could come here to NY Amber! Nothing like this ever happens here too. Either that or I live in a shell and do not know that these things ARE actually happening here! lol!
I’m with Tara – how about a European tour?
come back to Paris Amber!
Wow – this would an extraordinary event! I would love to come! I have been to Scrapbook Territory, and had the most wonderful dat on 4 th street!
I’m with Angela – Come to Texas PLEEEEEASE :op
Hmm.. Vegas is right next door to California. I would hop a flight just to come to your class. Or you can come to Vegas!! So excited for you to be doing this workshop.
There is a slim chance that I’ll be Vegas for CHA, which is the week after this workshop! No plans for a Vegas workshop….yet! If you end up in Cali at this event I’ll give you a big ‘ol hug!
I’m so excited. I have to get a spot in that Ssturday class. Did you mean details will be up on Monday May 20? I’m going to stalk the site as much as possible to get my ticket, but I will be on vacay in Portland that day. I’ll be so bummed if I miss this. Love what you are doing! Amy
Hi Amber! Please consider doing something like this in South Florida. We never get cool events like this and I would love to see what you put together. Your projects are delightful!
A South Florida workshop is VERY likely! I agree that it’s rare to find anything crafty in our part of the world!! If you have suggestions for locations for a South Florida workshop, let me know!
LOOOOVE this!! Wish I could be there! Amber, you should definitely do a European tour and be sure to visit Sweden! We need inspiration from crafty people like you here! 🙂
May 22nd isn’t a Monday. Are the registrations open Monday May 20th or Wednesday May 22nd? Thanks!
Oh gosh! Thanks for asking about this! Registration will open on Monday, May 20th. I will make the change in the blog post so that there isn’t any confusion.
