I love putting together a sewing or a craft workshop just for you! They are sort of a combination between a birthday party and a girls night out. The workshop takes place at Das Kreativlabor or your house or a place of your choice and can either be a group of kids (age 5+), teens or it can be a group of adults.

She creates an environment that encourages the love for crafting, creativity and learning.
