With a little guidance, children as young as 6 yrs. can learn to machine sew. Parents, you too can put those classic Home Ec. skills to good use. It’s not that different than driving. No worries, really!
Kelcey created Cloud 9 Workshop in 2012. The business name came to her while rocking her youngest in the wee hours of a warm summer morning. While the name came in a flash, the business has taken 11 yrs to develop. She believes art experiences add richness to life & provide opportunities to explore & express thoughts, ideas, & feelings. Currently, she is working towards a doctorate in art education. Time with her family is what she enjoys most & her favorite collection is sea glass & driftwood.
