We are continuing our Pop Up Maker Market series with this month's maker, Krystal Zorzi. Krystal is a long time workroom community member who also took part in our Heart Crafted event in February. We learned early on that Krystal is not only a talented and avid sewist, but is also an accomplished artist. We have always loved her custom watercolour house portraits, so we were absolutely blown away when she surprised us with a portrait of the workroom building for our February Heart Crafted event. Now you can also own a print of this wonderfully detailed rendition of the workroom's home on Queen Street West. For this Pop Up Preorder, she has created three special prints inspired by the workroom and sewing, along with a sweet patchwork block greeting card. Can you spot the block designs from that card that are based on workroom classes?! We will be taking orders for Krystal's prints until May 19th. All prints and cards will be delivered to the workroom by June 2nd.

Our Pop-Up Maker Market series spotlights curated collections that are available for a short time only. We hope you enjoy following along, getting to know and supporting some very talented folks in our community.
