About the Artist
Lindsey is a highly creative and talented individual with personal experience in a multitude of art mediums, which includes 15 years of experience teaching classes to groups in a fun and educational way.
She has a passion for creating beautiful artworks in her own home and enjoys sharing her skills and knowledge with others, in a way that leaves them feeling confident and proud of what they can create! As a self-taught artist, she primarily works in acrylic paint, but has explored other interesting mediums such as cake decorating and gingerbread design, sewing and costuming, and beadwork, among many others.
Lindsey is looking forward to bringing out the artist in YOU! Her mission is to come up with cool things for you to do with just the supplies in your own home, or if you're not a frequent crafter, general supplies that you can get at any craft store and turn into something incredible and unique. RSVP for one of her events on Facebook and see what kind of awesome artistic things you can accomplish today!
Lindsey is also available for private events that can be hosted entirely online for your safety and enjoyment, or in person at any open business or event hall anywhere in the state of Connecticut.
Her hobbies include crafting elaborate Hallowen costumes for herself and others, taking long naps with Oliver whenever possible, and binge watching old sugary musicals or violent documentaries— there is no inbetween.
About the Studio Cat
Oliver is a very good boy cat who has a passion for helping his mom with all her crafts.
He will be six years old in December 2024.
Oliver had a bit of a rough start. When he and Lindsey met, he had a little broken leg, and needed round-the-clock care for about six weeks while it healed. During that time they got to know each other very well and became inseparable. Their routine has always included crafts, naps, and movie time- and now Oliver combines all those things each day that he works in the studio with mom.
His hobbies include narrowly missing stepping into wet paint, pushing small craft supplies under furniture and hiding them, and meowing loudly and trying to launch himself into the curtains while Lindsey is trying to record. He also enjoys snuggling with Lindsey while she works, which is a fantastic way to inspire her. Oliver also assists with packing the cart for events, organizing supplies, and loves to lay on anything Lindsey is working on while blessing all of the crafts with cat hairs.
About Lindsey’s Craft Studio
Lindsey’s Craft Studio began in 2020 when Lindsey’s suddenly lost her job during the Covid-19 pandemic. Faced with trying to make ends meet for precious Oliver cat’s sake, she decided to draw on her many years of creative experience, and began her online endeavor. As restrictions opened up, Lindsey began to travel and offer her services to clients at home, at work, or at event centers such as restaurants and open businesses. She also appears at many fairs, festivals and events throughout the warmer months.
Lindsey has been teaching in some form or another for as long as she can remember, and enjoys sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Cost effective and FUN events are her specialty. She saw what wasn’t working with the other studio that she worked for and is using that insider information to make it easier than ever to plan events that work for every group she collaborates with, big or small!
As a member of the library workforce from a very young age, she is passionate about working with nonprofits and making sure every event is within their budget and that they are getting the most value for their buck. She knows firsthand how hard it is to provide for patrons with little to no supply budget, and prides herself on being flexible and creative about working around those restrictions. As the parent of a rescue animal, she especially enjoys working with animal rescue groups to fundraise and provide community enrichment. “Paint Your Pet” is her favorite program to teach!
Lindsey’s Craft Studio will continue to grow, adapt and pivot— so whether your needs are online or in-person, big or small, messy or neat, complex or simple crafts… Lindsey has you covered!
