Inspiration - Zinaida & Leather Art Center

I was so thrilled to hear from Zinaida recently asking if Feeling Inspired Circle would be interested in offering an Easter Egg Decorating event. What would Easter weekend be without pretty colored eggs?! We hope you will join us for an afternoon of decorating. We’ll have dies, rubber bands, markers, and other decorating ingredients on hand…  Champagne Mimosas and nibbles too! Moms, you’re welcome to bring your tweens. The event will be on Saturday, April 20 from 2-5pm. Sign up here.

Zinaida is the founder of Leather Arts Center in Mill Valley. She offers Leather art and craft classes. You can find out more about her wonderful classes at www.Leatherartcenter.com

Here's a bit more about Zinaida and the inspiration behind the Leather Art Center: Years ago I studied graphic arts and advertising, and perhaps because of that I developed an appreciation for design and form that follows function. It's incredibly satisfying to get your hands dirty and make something that is not only beautiful but also useful. Sewing, pottery, and woodworking come to mind... Leather craft was appealing because it seemed approachable: a few tools, a table, and you're off! 

It started a few years back when on a whim I signed up for a leather course (thank you for the intro Bea!). I've been playing with leather ever since and I'm excited to share with you what I've learned. Working with leather is an adventure -an addictive one I might add- and a great escape from the daily grind. If you've been curious about working with this gorgeous, luxurious, and endlessly versatile material, this is your chance!  I hope you'll join me for a weekend session.  Zinaida
