Natural Dye Workshop with Shannon Studio
Another collab, you say? You got it!
I’m so excited to partner up with @shannon_studio for our second natural dye workshop together on Saturday, May 4th (rescheduled date) from 1pm-3pm at the side yard at one of my favorite shops in Richmond— @thewildheartshop!
Like our previous workshop, we will be learning how to make natural dye pigments from elements from Mother Earth! The kiddos will then use the pigments to make their design on a cotton bucket hat, just in time for warmer weather!
I’ll also have my usual crafts setup—you don’t want to miss this one! Register under “What we do—Troop Sage.”
See you out there!
Troop Sage at Specklebelly Barn
Join me at @specklebellybarn on Sunday, April 28th, for animals and farm inspired crafting! Each child will get to paint their own barn birdhouse while being surrounded by four legged pals!
Class runs from 1pm-3pm (drop-off and pick-up). There is a bathroom on-site. This class is for kiddos ages 4 and up.
I’m only taking 8 cuties and I already have 4 pre-registered for this one so get on it! Sign-ups can be found by clicking the link under “What We Do—Troop Sage”.
See you at the farm! 🐰🐓🌾👩🏻🌾
Nature House Making in the Park
Come make a wooden mushroom birdhouse/nature house with me in my neighborhood park, Chimborazo! Looking out at the entire city, it’s the perfect place to bring your family to run around and have a picnic. It’s also super close to the capital trail. I’ll be bringing ten houses—$20 per crafter. You must sign-up in advance so I can make sure I have enough houses. Let’s enjoy spring in the city together!
Open Craft Studio at Little Nomad
Come craft with me at the coolest kid’s store in RVA! Little Nomad is a family-owned shop in downtown rva carrying some of the cutest clothing, books, and toys for infants to school-aged kiddos.
Cooking with Nature with Chef Olivia
Incredibly excited and over the moon to finally host a workshop with my dear pal, @olivemajor. If you live in Richmond, you have either devoured her baked goods or drooled over photos of them. I am lucky to have done both multiple times. My favorite thing about Olivia is her deep love for her community and how she shares her love through the gift of food.
Both as fellow East Enders, we are even more excited to host our workshop in our neighborhood at @coflowrva!
Children attending this workshop will enjoy a baking lesson with Olivia and crafts with me—truly the best of both worlds imo.
Drop off your kiddo, have lunch at Union Market or @pizzabonesrva, top it off with a scoop or two from @spottydogrva, and treat yourself at @shopdearneighbor. Everybody wins!
Register using the Troop Sage section of the website under “What We Do.” 10 kiddo max. Payment due one week before the workshop!
Pop-Up at The Wild Wander
It’s my final pop-up of the year and it’s a very special one!
Join me between 12pm-3pm on Sunday, December 17th at @the.wild.wander for holiday crafting and fun!
This is quite possibly the cutest shop in Richmond so finish your holiday shopping while I distract your littles:)
As usual, crafting is donation based.
I hope to see you there! 🍄🌿🍁
Crafts, Shops, + Treats in Church Hill
Join me and my pals in my hood, church hill on Saturday, 11/25– call me bias, but Jefferson Ave is the best street in Richmond and it’s always a party on small biz day.
Drop the kiddos off with me at Dear Neighbor for open-ended crafting and start your holiday shopping in the shop. Skip across the street to grab a scoop (or two) at Spotty Dog.
Before you leave, grab a coffee + pastries at @subrosabakery and if you’re feeling wild, maybe an entire pizza from @pizzabonesrva.
