Dear Creatives,

April means we’ve made it through the first quarter of the year and survived the winter! Wait—what do you mean it’s already April?! This week’s newsletter is for those of us who are ready to shake off the winter blues and want to pick up a creative skill for spring.

But first! We want to thank everybody that signed up for St’Valent Studio’s first ever glass painting workshop—we are so excited to see you all this weekend for a morning of relaxation and creativity. 💜 Although the event is sold out, we have exciting classes planned for May including a Watercolor Journaling Workshop and 2nd Glass Painting Workshop! Keep an eye out for our next newsletter for more information—and to be one of the first people to secure a spot.

As for the rest of this month…
