Join Me in the Studio

 

Come Make With Me

A hands-on break from the noise. A chance to create something meaningful. This is art in real life — and you’re invited.

At Coastal Flow Creative, I host small, in-person workshops in my heritage home studio right here in Port Alberni. We make fused glass pieces that are simple, beautiful, and rooted in the things I love most — gardens, coastal textures, wild blooms, and found treasures.

This is a place to slow your pace, follow your curiosity, and try something new with your hands. No experience needed. No pressure to be “good.” Just space to make something that feels like yours.

What We Make

Each session is beginner-friendly and includes everything you need. Projects vary by season and vibe, but past workshops have included:

  • Fused glass garden stakes and botanical panels
  • West coast-inspired glass hearts, votives, and trays
  • Jewelry & wearable pieces
  • Seasonal projects like ornaments or sun catchers
  • Functional art: soap dishes, candle holders, trinket trays

Everything is made in small groups, with my guidance, and finished in the kiln for pickup within a week.

It’s Not Just Me

Guest artists often drop into the studio to teach other hands-on mediums like:

  • Botanical printmaking
  • Watercolour painting
  • Textile and fiber-based art
  • Handmade books and nature journaling

If you’re craving variety or want to explore something beyond glass, keep an eye on the calendar for these special sessions.

How It Works

  • Classes are held in my Port Alberni studio (inside a beautiful old home with good music and better company)
  • Most workshops are 90–120 minutes
  • All tools, materials, and kiln work are included
  • Class sizes are small — usually 4 to 6 people
  • You’ll pick up your finished work a few days after class

Need Something More Flexible?

  • Book a private session — Come on your own and let’s make something one-on-one. 
  • Gather your people — I host private group sessions for birthdays, creative nights out, or just-because get-togethers.
