Drawn from a wealth of experience (and some mad crazy passion/obsession), our classes are designed to support you step by step to gain the confidence you need to tackle the projects you want to do.
At The Sourpuss Emporium, we find that our workshops and classes build much more than skills, they also build a sense of community. You will find classes warm and welcoming, no matter your skill level or age.
