About Us



What is an H is for Handmade Workshop? In a nutshell, it's a craft night. A DIY venture. A make-and-take event. An opportunity to come and make something totally original, with no effort or demand on your part - all for a very modest fee to cover costs of materials, labor and instruction. The event will include all the supplies for you; we take the hassle and pain out of trying to scout the stores to find everything you need and if you even have a coupon for it! We give a full tutorial on the project and offer assistance and tips on assuring a good outcome. Aside from it being a learning experience, we also want it to be a fun evening in an intimate setting where people feel welcome and enjoy a night out!


Who are We?
We are Amy Holmes and Meg Lewis, the creators of H is for Handmade Workshops. As two friends who share a passion for working creatively with our hands, and with over 30 years of combined crafting/artistic experience, we wanted to offer something that inspired people to gain knowledge in a variety of techniques. We believe that the lessons and invaluable tips that are taught in each class will generate a sense of confidence and accomplishment for a more skilled crafter. The two of us sit down and together we design an original craft, we sketch it out, we make a prototype and we make it happen. We put a lot of thought and time into what crafts people will not only want to learn, but to also have in their home.

We are wives to superb men, we are mothers to perfectly silly children. We love treats and Netflix. We are devoted to our friends and Swig sugar cookies. We never take ourselves too seriously. We are believers of road trips and adventures. We are thrifty and resourceful. We love to share. We adore nice people. We love us some Jesus. We wear our PJ's more than one really should. We think we're pretty funny. We never have perfect nail polish. We like to stay up late. We want you to come hang out with us.


Giving Back
We feel very passionately about giving back and seeing someones life blessed and changed with a helping hand. A portion of our proceeds will be put into a savings fund to someday provide a creative space for someone in need. We know there are so many deserving and struggling artists and crafters who's potential is unlimited if given the right room, a space makeover, supplies and tools needed. There are so many people out there who work hard, struggle to make ends meet and need that one little part of their home to indulge in their talents and create handmade work.
