Keep it Simple = Better Branding
by Shannon Gillman Orr of Mastering the Art of Being Me
Think you need to be a big box store with a big box budget to have your own look? Think again. Everything we create should say "YOU". Learn how a simple clear branding approach to your products, your packaging, and even the way you look can make a big difference.

Study Hall
At any time during the Modern + Vintage Crafter-noon you are encouraged to bust out your knitting, sketchbooks, or any other craft you'd like (excluding noisy bits like sewing machines!) However during MVC Study Hall we really want you to share your talent with those around you, exchange ideas, see what others are working on and get your craft on. This is an alternative class offered opposite both the Monogram Applique Class and the Paper, Paper, Paper classes.
