This is a very small group workshop with only 5 participants. About the Teacher: Cecilia Ostberg, co-owner of Small Space Art Collective, brings a global perspective to her art and teaching. Growing up on the coast of Sweden, she now flourishes in sunny San Clemente, CA, surrounded by her husband, feline companions, and her mother. Cecilia's a lifelong creative spirit, always eager to learn new craft techniques. From garment sewing to jewelry making, her passion lies in handmade creations and artistic exploration. Her travels infuse her work with a unique blend of Scandinavian heritage, Southern California vibes, and a touch of Mexican influence (thanks to her family!). Cecilia believes that creativity is for everyone, not just the artistic elite. In her classes, she fosters a welcoming space where anyone can discover their inner maker and embrace the joy of handcrafted art.
