Saturday, April 5th, 2025 marked a joyful milestone for us here at Patois Creative Studio—our very first children’s workshop! We welcomed excited young minds for a free Easter Basket Construction session as part of our Crafty Math workshop series. It was hands-on, colorful, filled with laughter—and most importantly, packed with learning through creativity.
This event was completely free to all who registered and showed interest, and we were thrilled to see the enthusiasm from both children and parents alike.

A Close Call Turned Celebration
We’re also celebrating behind the scenes: our first major shipment of supplies arrived just in time on April 1st—after days of uncertainty and crossed fingers! That delivery wasn’t just a box of paint and aprons. It was a dream realized—filled with rulers, crayons, yarn, polymer clay, UV resin, 3D printing filaments, acrylic markers, and so much more.
These materials set the foundation for the creative energy that fuels not only our Crafty Math and Crafty Cash Flow workshop series, but also your spontaneous crafting moments in the studio.

Sustainability in Action
We are proud to share our commitment to reuse and recycle wherever possible. A special thank you goes out to Clarke’s Court Rum Distillery for their generous donation of glass bottles and cardboard boxes—essential materials for our upcoming bottle crafting workshop and many other projects down the line. This kind of support makes a big difference as we strive to blend creativity with care for our environment.

With Gratitude
To our friends, family, and the Grenada Office of Creative Affairs—thank you for believing in this vision and helping us reach this first step. Your support helped us turn ideas into action, and our studio into a space of joy, learning, and cultural connection.

With creativity, gratitude, and Caribbean flair,

I've gotten a lot of constructive feedback on these posters and will be sure to incorporate the points next time. For instance, where are the prices?? LOL! I guess at the moment, I wanted to lure people to the site to see all the other offerings and then see the prices. However, next time, I'll be sure to put the cost per session. Thanks to my ever-helpful friends who are like my unassigned management, marketing, and everything else under the sun team. Thanks for reading and be sure to join in the Craft, Create and Elevate tribe! 

Today, March 18th, 2025, the Patio Creative Studio website was launched, and my heart is full. Will my dream be realized? Can my love for teaching and crafting be melded as one to make this business shine? I can only wait and see. 
It's after four in the morning, and after one week of building a website, I feel relieved that one hurdle is over. There are so many more ahead, but I will be steadfast and push to realize this vision. Thanks to friends and family for all their support thus far. Without your belief in me, there would be little to no courage to take this step. To my dear departed mother, I know you are right beside me, but oh, do I wish you were right here with me now. Dear God, thanks for getting me this far. Amen.
