The Creative Cottage has been over 25 years in the making. It started with my grandmother, a $20 bill, and free rein in a craft store — and it grew into a backyard summer camp business, a canvas-painting venture, a career in education, and now this studio.  I believe creativity is God-given — He is the ultimate Creator, and He made each of us in His image to create too. That belief is the heartbeat of this studio: a place where kids and adults alike can reflect that creativity freely, without pressure or perfection.
