Service Description

Turn simple materials into modern mini-sculptures—functional, fun, and full of personality. In this playful hands-on workshop, you’ll design and build your own photo or card holders using bent wire and wooden bases. Learn the basics of wire bending to form sleek shapes—hearts, spirals, squiggles, or custom initials—and create clean holes in wood using hand tools to craft a sturdy, stylish base. We’ll finish with acrylic pens so you can add patterns, color, or a little flair to make each piece truly yours. No experience needed—just come ready to create and leave with 2–3 finished holders, perfect for photos, notes, table settings, or small works of art. What You’ll Learn: Intro to wire bending: loops, shapes, and securing techniques How to safely drill wood for design and stability Decorating techniques using acrylic pens Ideas for how to use and display your holders All materials and tools are provided—just bring your creativity and a favorite photo or card for inspiration!

This embroidery class was perfect!  The space is inviting and sparks creativity.  Cecilia is a skilled and effective teacher.  She provides you a cute little kit with everything you need! Incredibly grateful for Cecilia to hold the space for some therapeutic making time, community, and skills that I can take with me. Thank you, thank you!

"I have only attended the Fiber Club and Marbling Workshop so far am so inspired!! Small Space Collective is such a treasure in our town. San Clemente has been needing something like this for a long time. The two women who run this studio have an incredible vision. They are building a wonderful community of artists and crafters who can share and learn from each other."

"Small Space Collective is such a gem!! I was so happy to find a place to go do small artsy projects. I love that you don't have to sign up for multiple weeks but that you can just pick the workshops that you would like to go and it's easier with me with my schedule that varies all the time. I am already signing up for the next fun workshop."
