A short note from Laura...
Happy 2025! I'm looking forward to a fun and creative year! All the florals and berries...AND the bunnies...in the new IOD release, as well as all the awesome colors in Debi's DIY Paint line, will be the inspiration for the upcoming workshops coming in the next few weeks. Be on the look out for the workshop posts on my @studioprimrose page on both Instagram and Facebook.

"In the Garden" Trinket Tray Workshop

Picture
Join me for a cozy, creative workshop where we’ll paint and decorate two wooden trays—perfect for gifting (Mother’s Day is around the corner!) or keeping for yourself. 💝
We're crafting something both beautiful and useful—because who doesn’t need a charming little place to drop your keys, rings, or reading glasses? Even better, these sweet trays make the perfect heartfelt gift just in time for Mother’s Day—whether it’s for a mom, daughter, sister, grandma, or your favorite BFF. 💝
You’ll paint and decorate two wooden trinket trays:

✨ One round tray (approx. 8" across)
✨ One oblong tray (approx. 9” long)
We’ll be working with Jami Ray’s Cottage Colors—gorgeous, velvety paints with a built-in sealer that glide on like a dream.

While the paints are drying, we‘ll get the real fun started! I’ll bring out my treasure trove of IOD transfers, paint inlays, and lettering stamps so you can begin designing your trays with all the floral details…possibly saving a little space for a few meaningful words…or anything your heart dreams up.

Every tray that comes out of this workshop is completely unique—a little reflection of the person who made it. I love seeing how they turn out, and I know you will too! 💕

We'll finish your pieces with a couple coats of varnish (they’ll need a day to fully cure), and then they’ll be ready to bring a little charm to your space—or wrap up as a truly special gift.

This is one of my favorite workshops, and I’d love to create alongside you. 🌿

Dates & Times:
Saturday, May 3rd - 11am-2pm
Saturday, May 10th - 11am-2pm
All Inclusive Fee: $28.00





Woodland Spring Workshop

Picture
Come hang out with me for a fun workshop using IOD transfers and stamps along with Debi's DIY Cottage Colors paints!
We'll be making the cutest painted wood slices! Pre-painted wood slices will be available as well as wood pieces for you to paint using the lovely Cottage Colors paints of your choice.
Everyone will paint and decorate 2 wood slices ranging from approx. 3" to 5" in size. No two wood pieces will be the size and shape.
The NEW IOD transfer sets...including the gilded sets...will be open for everyone to explore and share as well as some of my fav sets available for more inspiration.
We will be using stamps or the gilded transfers to layer typography designs behind the floral transfers. I will also share with you how I use "fussy cut" techniques to re-style the transfers to fit the wood pieces.
The wood pieces will be drilled on site as you may want to use these as coasters (no hole)...or as displayed in the photo. Choose from a variety of chunky wood beads with jute and braided gold string for the finishing touch.
I can't wait to see you! Laura

"Let It Snow" Snowman Plaque Workshop

Picture
☃️ It’s almost snowman season, and this little guy has completely melted my heart! ❄️

Here in sunny Mesa, AZ, outdoor snowman building might be off the table, but who needs snow when you can create your own in the studio? 🌞 This adorable “Let it Snow” chunky pine plaque (measuring 15" tall by 11" wide!) is the perfect winter project to get us into the holiday spirit.
Join me for one of two workshop sessions and bring your very own snowman ☃️ to life!

The wood plaque and all the other wood pieces will be prepped and/or stained for you in advance. You will paint, assemble and glue all the wood pieces as well as make a fabric scarf, add all the fun decorative pieces (lots of bells, stars, snowflakes, greenery, buttons, etc to choose from).
The workshop will likely be 3-1/2 hours. Some will finish sooner...some a little later. Please bring snacks and drink with you to keep you going!
Can't wait to see you!

Jolly Santa Workshop

Picture
Doesn't he just put a big smile on your face?
Join me for some festive fun making this adorable Santa decor piece. Won't he be a fabulous addition to your holiday decor! Or just lean him in some greenery on a mantle or shelf.
The project is approximately 7-1/2" tall by 5" wide. The bread board is a chunky 3/4" thick and pre-stained. You will paint, assemble and glue all the wood pieces as well as make a fabric or ribbon bow (options will be available), add all the fun decorative pieces (lots of bells, stars, snowflakes, greenery, buttons, etc to choose from). Glue it to your wood piece and voila...you are done!
Can't wait to see you and have great fun creating together as the Winter/Christmas season gets started!

A Whimsical Hallows Eve Workshop

Are these too cute for words or what! We've got lots of fun pieces to make in this 2-1/2 hour workshop. And lots of choices to make these decor pieces your own unique set.

All the pieces are perfectly sized for tiered tray decor or to set on a mantle, table, shelf, etc.
Everyone will make the following:
One chunky "Boo" set (approx 4" tall and 3/4" thick)
Two framed art pieces using decoupage art or wood cut outs (frames are approx 4" or larger)
One 4" square or 3"x4" two-sided chunky wood piece for decoupage art

There will be a variety of frame sizes and shape choices. Then it's time to decide what you want to create with them! Choose from several decoupage art papers I have curated for this workshop (whimsical, grungy and more), wood cut outs (witch silhouettes and more), IOD inlays (background on sample is one of the newest IOD inlays), etc. There will be word and phrase art papers and alpha stamps to add and layer if desired. 

On the wood squares, everyone has the option to decoupage both sides. There will be Halloween and Fall art papers to choose from so that this piece can be part of your decor through the Fall season. We will add antiquing and distressing details as desired.

Can't wait to see you and have great fun creating together!

Register/ShopTrinket Tray Workshop - Let's create with IOD Inlays & Transfers
(& 
Mini Wood Canvases)

“I must have flowers. Always and always." Claude Monet

Claude Monet’s quote speaks to my heart! I love to surround myself with flowers. I also need a place to set my keys, glasses, etc. where I can find them again…lol. And that need inspired me to create this workshop.
If any of this speaks to you, I hope you will join me this Saturday, May 11th. It's going to be fun!
  • Everyone will paint and decorate one (1) trinket tray. Everyone has the choice between the 2 sizes...approximately 9” or 7” in length. 
  • We will begin by painting with Cottage Colors and Debi's DIY Chalk & Clay paints. I will have a selection of paint colors for painting your background colors. While the paints dry, everyone will search through my collection of IOD transfers and paint inlays to begin planning the inlays or transfers you will use. I've learned a lot about working with the paint inlays since they were first introduced and I will be sharing techniques that have made them easy for me to apply. The hardest part is waiting for them to dry to the magic moment when they can be pulled away from the surface! And speaking of that wait...
  • While we are waiting for the inlays to do their magic, we will decoupage  two 4x4 wood canvases. (Because I know it will be difficult for everyone to choose just one!) There will be a lovely selection of art for you to choose from (more than what is pictured above). Some of the mini art papers have quotes already included in them. I have also created some art papers with the space left open for you to stamp a word...or possibly a few words...based on the space left open and the font of the stamp you choose. If preferred, instead of using the art papers, you can create with transfers or paint inlays instead. If desired, these pieces will be distressed, antiqued and varnished.
  • Once the inlays have been pulled away and the transfers have been applied, if you have left the space, we will finish the trays with a bit of stamping and then varnish them to protect them for their new place in your home.
  • The supplies provided for this workshop include: 1 unfinished wood trinket tray, 2 thick wood pieces (4"x4") for decoupaged mini art, a selection of IOD transfers and paint inlays, alpha stamps, mini art papers, selection of Cottage Colors paints and Debi's DIY chalk & clay paints, decoupage paste, etc.
  • The little metal stands in the photos are not included but are available for sale. The painted jar with flower frog and stamped clay decorations the photo will be a workshop coming soon.​

This workshop also gives you all a great opportunity to work with IOD moulds and bring out their lovely detailed goodness using Debi's powders!
