Beginner Crochet Workshop

Join us Sunday November 10th at 11am for our new Beginner Crochet Workshop with Melisa Joy. In this class you’ll learn the basic crochet stitches to complete a colorful, new cowl scarf — the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. Class size will be kept small to ensure students receive intimate, hands-on instruction. No experience is necessary! You’ll leave the class with the skills to make crocheted beauties, perfect for gifting this holiday season! All materials included to complete the cowl project and continue practicing at home.

This two hour class also includes mimosas and light brunch snacks and a discount on merchandise at Dandelion Post (where our studio is located) that day!

Cookie Decorating Workshop

Join us Saturday November 9th at 1pm for our new Fall Cookie Decorating Workshop with Becca Jones of XO Bakes. Learn the basics of how to make royal icing, what the necessary tools are needed to get started, and how to decorate cookies. Everyone will walk away with cookies to go and a recipe and supply list. Also $10 of each ticket sold will be donated to the SF Marin Food Bank. That means if this class sells out we will be able to collectively donate 240 meals to those in need in our community. In this two-hour beginner class, you’ll learn:

• How to make royal icing

• Different royal icing consistencies for cookie details

• Best materials and brands for cookie decorating

• Two unique cookie designs

• A half dozen cookies to decorate and take home with you

• An hour and a half of hands-on decorating time

This is the perfect afternoon to get ready for the holidays and to impress all your friends. This two hour class also includes mimosas and light brunch snacks and a discount on merchandise at Dandelion Post (where our studio is located) that day!

In 2017 Becca turned her after-work hobby into a small business and started teaching group classes on cookie decorating in addition to taking custom orders. Her goal is to bring joy to others through group cookie decorating experiences and cute and tasty treats. When she isn’t working on XO Bakes, she’s spending time with her toddler and newborn.
