What is DIY Open Studio? It's the best way to have a fun and productive afternoon where you come away with an awesome, hand-made object, customized by you! I mean, we all totally respect that one creative friend who makes her own clothes, or jewelery or handbags, right? We at Common Era are always bragging about our one-of-a-kind earrings and necklaces and card cases and now our embellished sweaters for the winter... But who says you can't do the same thing? Of course you can and we are here to help!
At our Boulder store on 16th and Pearl from 1:00 - 4:00 pm on Sundays and from 3:00 - 5:00 pm on Mondays, you can come in and make either earrings, a card case or embellish a sweater for the same price as we sell it on the floor! Which means there is no paying for our help, our instruction or our materials.
Here's an example: you and your pal have always thought we have cool card cases but have never found "the perfect one." So you come in, you each get a "blank" one and you hang out in our studio using all the same materials we use to customize them. One of our staff will also be on hand to help instruct you and what kind of glue to use (transparent, spray glue, mod podge), whether or not to use tape as a protective layer on top, suggestions on themes, colors, layout, etc. You could make one with all birds, one with your name on it, one with images of all the same color...the possibilities are endless. And this is an awesome gift to make for a friend or relative- completely personalized!
- We sell a card case for $12-$18.
- We sell our sweaters from $36-$45.
- We sell our earrings for $10-$20.
But what about private parties?!?!?!
Don't worry, we thought of that as well. You and 5 of your friends can reserve the workshop space to have a party- birthday, bachelorette, or simply a "ladies' night out." Each party will be about making a specific item- it could be a sweater party, a card case party, or an earring or necklace party.
For a party of 6:
- sweater party $240
- card cases $96
- earrings $90
Every member of the party goes home with the knowledge of how to make our product as well as the product itself! And if that isn't enough- what do you say to an additional discount? We'll also give you a discount coupon to shop in the the store that day for 15% off. It doesn't get any better than that!
Don't forget- OPEN STUDIO in our Boulder location every Sunday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and every Monday from 3:00 - 5:00pm!! Now go tell a friend.
