Holiday Gift Idea! Give the gift of time to learn and create art together.⁠

We are thrilled to invite you to join us for an afternoon with February 24.

Here's the Link with all of the details.
https://ciderpresslane.com/events/2024/2/24/an-afternoon-of-linocut-art-amp-small-bites-with-mollie-marigold

Kelly will welcome you in to our main room to enjoy mingling and meeting new friends by the crackling fire, with a feast of savory and sweet small bites, winter spritzers and so much time to learn from Mollie how to create your own Linocut Print Art.⁠

All of the details are covered for this cozy winter afternoon enjoying a spread of our favorite recipes, bubbly drinks and steaming mugs of coffee and tea while we learn. Linocut Art is a type of Block Printing. Mollie will teach you how to carve your design into a linoleum block, roll on block printing ink and then print it on paper! The best part is that you’ll go home with your own Linocut Block ready to print to your hearts content…create your own gift wrapping, or cards, tea towels or shirts. You get to use your design however your heart desires.⁠

No experience necessary and no tools required. All you need is to come with a heart ready to learn, hands ready to create and an afternoon to enjoy all the beauty of savoring life and making art together.⁠

Happy Gift Giving of Time + Art!⁠

Kelly's Birthday Week sale continues with 20% off all of our Ciderpress Lane Products Print Products!⁠

Did you know that our card sets and holiday gift tag sets were all hand drawn by our daughter - a few years ago I was sketching out the garden map for our Garden Workshop and asked Bella if she would want to draw it for me. Bella has always loved art and her sketch of the garden map was so lovely we printed it for all of our guests. That print inspired her to create a few more garden sketches which turned into our Garden Notecard set ... then that set turned into Bella creating holiday notecards and gift tags. We dearly love having these available in our shop and at our in person events, this is the tangible proof that one dream and idea begets another.

11/21/2023

Today is my birthday and of all the things my heart wants to say, Thank You is what bubbles to the top. And yet it is hardly sufficient.

When we hosted our the first of our 8 years ago, my heart was simply hoping to be able to fill the table with friends so that together we could help fight the injustice of s*x slavery. I was hoping that together, enjoying a meal and time at the table maybe we could give one person hope for a life of freedom.

You my sweet friends have taken that small amount of hope and turned it into the most beautiful community and business. We feel incredibly honored. I have tears in my eyes as I type this because I feel a deep gratitude for each of you - for the support you continue to give the freedom dinners, the generosity and willingness to be a part, for each of the guests that have joined us at our table, or for a cooking class, for garden workshops and spring tea, for inviting me to come speak at your events and conferences, for asking us to design and create your wedding days and events... I have an overwhelming amount of gratitude for all of it. It's more than I could have hoped to plan for and I step into this new year wise enough to know that the best things are those that surprise us with gratitude.

As a way to say thank you we're giving you 20% off all of our Ciderpress Lane Print Products!⁠
