Send us a textAfter a brief hiatus in March, I'm back with exciting updates about what's happening at Brewtifully Made! The walls of the studio are now adorned with our April exhibit – the 2025 Itty Bitty Art Exhibby, featuring miniature artwork from talented creators across Stark County. From micro crocheting to tiny concrete sculptures, these diminutive masterpieces showcase incredible skill and creativity. Stop by anytime this month to view the collection with our complimentary programs and magnifying glasses, and perhaps even create your own tiny artwork to add to our growing display.My personal passion for miniatures runs deep – with six dollhouses at home and countless hours spent crafting detailed models and scenes. There's something profoundly mindful and soothing about working on such a small scale, watching intricate worlds emerge from tiny components. This shared joy with my husband, who creates 3D models and miniature accessories, has inspired much of what we do at the studio.Beyond the exhibit, we've launched Free Face Painting Fridays throughout April, welcoming both children and adults to stop by between 5-9 pm for some creative fun. The studio will be closed Easter weekend (April 19-20) for family time, and I'll be attending the Rebloom art conference in Kentucky from May 4-9 – an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow artists and gather fresh inspiration.The most significant news, however, is my upcoming retirement from healthcare on June 30th after a decade in the field. While bittersweet to leave wonderful colleagues behind, I'm thrilled to dive fully into this art journey. Brewtifully Made was born from my desire to create a space where creativity happens immediately – no hour-long drive home before you can start your project. Whether you want to try a craft before investing in supplies, rediscover a forgotten passion, or simply need a cheerleader for your creative endeavors, that's exactly what we're here for.Looking for updates on classes, events and special offers?
