May 2009 - Happy birthday to us!

It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since we began running contemporary craft workshops at The Make Lounge. We'd like to thank each and every one of you for your support, whether you've booked on one (or more) of our courses, told a friend about The Make Lounge, or signed up for this newsletter. We really appreciate it!

New workshops now online

Our brand new workshops are now up on the web site, including:

The return of Craft Nights!

Our popular Craft Nights are back, with two more lined up in celebration of summer! First up, our DIY Craft Night on Tuesday, June 16, featuring a variety of fun, festive craft kits. Book in advance here. On Thursday, July 9 we're hosing a stylish, social Summer Clothing Swap with style advice plus simple alterations tips. Details here!

New kids' classes at The Make Lounge!

We're excited to introduce two new offerings for children age 11-15 this summer: A week-long Sewing Camp (July 27-31) and a week-long Crochet Camp (offered July 20-25 and again August 24-28). We're also running our popular Crafty Kids Club for younger kids (age 7-11) August 10-14. Visit our web site for details on all our kids' workshops - and tell your friends!

Important reminder about class levels

Some of our workshops, including Knockout Knickers, Crochet Arigurumi Toys and Retro Bikinis, have prerequisite skill levels which are clearly noted on our web site. If you're not quite ready for an intermediate class, please sign up for one of our basic workshops first.

Out of fairness to other students and to our teachers, we reserve the right to turn away customers who come to our advanced classes without the necessary skills. If you have any questions at all about the skill levels needed for a particular workshop, please get in touch prior to booking. Many thanks!
