Session Two in the MakeMN™ workshop series is in the books! CJC, along with the crafty ladies from The Vintage Studio, hosted a full house of concrete-aficionado-wannabes this past Sunday. Everyone started with a box of goodies. Erica showed us how to mix the concrete, and then we unpacked our boxes layer by layer to learn to mix the concrete ourselves, then to paint and decorate the planters and coasters! We finished by planting succulents to take home, stopping for wine and
cupcake breaks in between.
Take a peek at the photos, scroll down for the awesome swag bag sponsors and a chance to win a swag bag full of handmade items. We'll share the details of our
next MakeMN workshop later this week {or

That looks like it was a fun class, I’m going to have to try to round up a friend or two for one of your future classes. I like your Facebook page, as well as The Vintage Studio, Field Notes, and aVintage Parcel.
Can’t wait to see what other workshops you are going to run and what a great bag of fun stuff. I have liked a girl and a glue gun, 100 days of real food, articulture, northern lights.mn to name a few….
Thanks, Alex! To be entered in the giveaway, please “like” the sponsor pages listed in the blog post, and let us know which ones you’ve liked! We hope to see you at a future MakeMN!
Thanks so much, Tricia!
I liked The Vintage Studio, XO Handworks and Abbeys House. This class looks amazing and the Mpls location is in my hometown neighborhood! (now I’m a Carver Co. girl)
So fun! I loved checking out the pages and liked all that had links to their facebook pages. The minnesota pillow is wonderful!
Fun that you’ve got ties to both store locations!
Thanks, Peggy! Abbey actually designed that fabric herself, and has it custom-printed!
I follow your site of course, I also added new sites from your swag bag. I love local crafters.
