LPDstudios Blog: Craft Reunion Holiday Pop Up
Come join me in kicking off the holiday gift giving season! LPDstudios will be at the Craft Reunion Holiday Pop Up this weekend, which happens to be the twentieth anniversary of this Central Pennsylvania Artisan Show. There will be over 20 remarkable local artists selling hand crafted pottery, jewelry, metal sculpture, rustic woodcraft, candles and soaps, just to name a few.
The event is held at the beautiful Fort Hunter Mansion, which is a beautiful estate built overlooking the Susquehanna River. Fort Hunter Mansion and Park has a rich history, as it has been a war fort, a hub for frontier commerce, and an exclusive private estate. Luckily for us, the property is now preserved and open to the public.
Not only is the Craft Reunion happening this weekend, but there will be so many other great family friendly events, including Christmas at Fort Hunter, Kids Holiday Shop, and the Festival of Trees.
Stop by and you'll surely feel the Christmas spirit!

LPDstudios Blog: What's New - Craft on Tap II & III
We had a blast at both Craft on Tap Workshop's held at the PA Guild in Lancaster this October! These classes are so much fun to teach, because everyone comes to the class with different creative skill levels, all ready to learn something new.For this last series, students made a custom leather clutch, where they mastered sewing, cutting and punching leather techniques. There were different leather colors to choose from, including reversible pieces of hot teal/blue and punchy orange/pink combinations. So everyone was able to make a unique clutch built by hand!Thanks to everyone who came to each class, and if you live in the Lancaster, PA area, I highly recommend checking out the Craft on Tap series for the month of November! -
