Let's make stuff and find joy

 

Where are you in your creative life? Are you just beginning, or are you trying to find that groove again? This may be a good place to start! Here at Indie Love Craft, we thrive in discovery. We keep a curious mind. We treat creativity as the place to let loose, immerse ourselves in the process, and perhaps say, “This is the best mistake I’ve made all day!”

Take a look at what Indie Love Craft has to offer. The motto is Make Stuff and Find Joy! Let me help guide you there!

About Me

Hello! I'm Cat and welcome to Indie Love Craft. Since you're here, let me introduce myself!


I'm a maker, a creative type. I have delved into all kinds of art and craft since I was a little kid from scrunching up paper bags and making secret treasure maps to drawing animals and portraits of Brooke Shields during the 80s (what a beautiful person to draw!). I wrote and made my first book in first grade, "The Secret Camp." I still have it and it's hilarious!


I've been a mixed media artist and bookmaker for 30 years now, teaching classes for the last five years. It is time to step up my love of art and bookmaking with others.


My goals are to build a fun and joyful community of makers, spread the love of art and making, and provide fun, engaging, in-person classes and workshops. I hope you join me, and I look forward to seeing you soon!

What Our Clients Saying

Teresa Z.

10/10 highly recommend!! Cat is such an excellent teacher. She has a gift for connecting while also being humorous, kind, organized and incredibly conscientious. I felt supported the whole time, and left feeling proud of what I created. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn, escape, create and have a wonderful time doing it.

Celeste D.

I had the best time!! Cat provided all the tools and supplies as well as step by step direction. As a non-crafty person, I found this to be the best environment for me to step into that world. I can’t wait for the next class!

Kristin M.

I recently took one of Indie Love Craft’s workshops in December and had a wonderful time. I created my own book garland decoration, which I absolutely loved using for the holidays. Cat made the experience warm, comfortable, and easy to enjoy. Everyone had a great time, and I highly recommend her workshops!
