I’m taking a break from 2012 recaps to announce the launch of a project very near & dear to my heart. Through the years I’ve had a lot of emails asking if I offer workshops, and aside from a handful of One-on-One sessions each year, the answer has always been no. I’ve had the idea behind the MillShops brewing for over 2 years, but the timing was never quite right… until now.
I knew the perfect situation would present itself, and on a random night in December, I sat down to write a blog post and it turned into a mission statement for the MillShops. Something about 2013 was pulling me to branch out & share my knowledge of the industry I love, but I had no idea it could reach beyond the walls of my studio. A few months ago I was introduced to an organization called Feed the Hunger during a pack-a-thon for a local church, and suddenly the MillShops’s mission grew twofold.
So, I’m thrilled to announce my first non-profit workshop, named after the place my business has called home for almost 7 years. My studio at Revolution Mill has felt like home since the very first time I set foot in the door. I took a major leap of faith signing a lease on a place with no walls, no electricity and only two other tenants besides myself. Much like my business and my art, I’ve watched the Mill grow to a place that houses over 100 businesses, a place of community, and a place of vision. I’m thrilled they allowed me to use the iconic Revolution smokestack in the MillShops logo & can’t wait to host my first group workshop here. Part of the proceeds from the MillShops will be used to fund a mission trip to Haiti with Feed the Hunger in April, and the remainder of the earnings will be used as a donation to the organization to help feed families living in poverty.
