Hi, I'm Traci, and I'm so happy you're here!

OpenCastle Creative was born from my love of creating, learning new crafts, and bringing people together. I truly believe that everyone has a creative side—you don't have to consider yourself "artistic" to enjoy making something beautiful. Sometimes all you need is a little guidance, a welcoming space, and the chance to simply have fun.

My goal is to create an experience that's as relaxing as it is inspiring. Bring your favorite beverage, gather your friends, or come on your own—you'll always find a friendly atmosphere where it's easy to laugh, learn something new, and connect with fellow makers.

Every workshop is designed with beginners in mind while still offering plenty of inspiration for experienced crafters. I'll be there every step of the way with hands-on instruction, encouragement, and plenty of creative tips to help you leave with something you're proud to say, "I made that!"

More than anything, I hope these workshops becomes a place where you can step away from the busy pace of everyday life, spend a few hours creating with your hands, and leave feeling inspired, refreshed, and excited to come back for the next month's adventure.

I can't wait to create with you!
