Ramping up for our annual 'Seasonal Event'

200567655001 For the last 4 years, we have had a booth at the Annual Circle Craft Christmas show, held at Canada Place in Vancouver. We've loved being in that venue, but times are a changing for StudioWERX...

We now have a storefront, studioWERX on Main [our store within Ruby Dog's Arthouse], and are in a situation where we can sell our products to our consumers in a different environment. So what are we to do?? Well...  this year, for the first time in 5 years, we will NOT be attending the Circle Craft Christmas Show. Instead, we will be doing a 5-day Seasonal Event called Kick Start the Festivities in our storefront!

By visiting and shopping at our store, you won't have to pay admission like you do at Circle Craft, there is free parking, lots of room and great, NEW products to check out. The bonus having our event in the store is that not only will we be demoing and doing Make and Takes throughout the day, we will also be offering Festive Craft classes for the first time!

My friend and fellow paper artist Becky will be teaching 5 Festive Craft classes over the 5 day event, that will range from beginner to more advanced and will focus on Christmas oriented crafts! It's a great opportunity to get some art projects and gifts completed before the holiday season begins; it's a great way to try out new products you haven't used before; and it's a great opportunity to hang out, enjoy some festive spirit and kick start your holiday season!

Specially ordered holiday products at the studioWERX on Main 'Kick Start the Festivities' include:

  • wonderful holiday inspired papers, gift bags, card making Kits and Album Kits
  • festive embellishments for cards, gift making and gift wrapping
  • new holiday inspired Lazar StudioWERX rubberstamps - debuting at this event first!
  • rubberstamping inks, acrylic blocks, sundry supplies and more!

Kick Start the Festivities runs from November 7 - 11, 2007 with extended store hours of 11am-9pm Wednesday thru Friday, 11am-6pm Saturday and Sunday. We hope to see you there!

Watch this our blog for sneak peeks about our coming products... and for detailed class information and samples.
