More project pictures! We'll have the schedule posted, along with the rest of the projects by the end of this month. Just make sure you've set the dates aside--not only will we have some excellent classes, but we'll also have some outstanding vendors. You'll find some unique creations and vintage inspired displays around! Don't miss it!






You will find more details about these class options, as well as our new instructors and vendors, in a few days.

What is it?

Paige & I did the OSC event Wednesday on post that was a great way to introduce the military community to what Hodgepodge & ARTifacts are all about. During the day, I got the question "what is this Spectacular thing?"


When I came home, I realized we jumped right into it with the classes we will have with no explanation. So - here you go!


We will start out on Friday night with a party and special shopping opportunities for about 8 vendors who will set up their items to sell just for this event. Special shopping opportunities means first pick of from their many one of a kind items. Only those who register for our event will be allowed to shop for this special event. And food! Fancy, fun and frilly bits for all!


The next morning, we start bright and early (no worries, we will have the coffee!) with our first round of classes. We will have 4 sessions throughout the day, offering over 16 classes in all. Classes of all kinds: Mixed Media Art Projects, unique vintage inspired jewelry for beginners, journal making, altered books and much, much more.


This event is open to all! Local, far away and in between. We have hotel rooms reserved at the River View Inn - just call tell them your with the Spectacular Spectacular event, and the dates you will be staying and you will get the rate of $79, plus tax, per night.


All in all, it will be a wonderful opportunity to learn some new techniques from some fabulously talented individuals and spend time with people with your similar interests. You'll find an abundance of inspiration at the hands of our instructors and vendors.
