Meet Our Artists!
Inviting you to the fun.
Think you’re not “artistic”? Not sure where to start with a craft you’ve always wanted to try? Or maybe you love creating but don’t want to invest in all the supplies for something you’re unsure about or don’t have time to pursue regularly.
Come explore, experiment, and create in our new classes—no experience (or commitment) needed!
Kaylee S.
Kaylee is an artist and small business owner who has been crafting for as long as she can remember. Growing up, she spent countless hours alongside her grandmother in her art studio, an experience that sparked a lifelong passion for creating. Ever curious and eager to grow, Kaylee is always exploring new techniques and mediums.
Since 2020, she has been selling her work, experimenting across a wide range of crafts including ceramics, metal smithing, painting, and candle making. Her creative journey is driven by a love of learning and a desire to bring unique, handmade pieces to life.
Outside of her creative work, Kaylee enjoys hiking, mountain biking, knitting, and getting lost in a good book. She brings that same sense of adventure and curiosity into everything she creates.
