Craft a Fun Day: Painting Sun Hats at Cocoa Village's My Maker Scape!
On a sun-soaked afternoon in Florida, Emma Kirkpatrick and Suzy Leonard, co-owners of the popular Ossorio Bakery & Cafe, found themselves faced with a rare day off. With the summer heat driving them indoors, they contemplated various activities to escape the sweltering weather—movies, bowling, miniature golf—but none seemed appealing or readily available. Their search for a fun indoor escapade led them to My Maker Scape in Cocoa Village, a charming craft studio that had only just opened its second location on August 2.
According to Florida Today, My Maker Scape is a hub of creativity, offering sewing classes, crafting parties, and even children’s crafts. The pièce de résistance is The Splat Lab, where visitors can unleash their inner artists with paint activities. This setup was perfect for Emma and Suzy, who were greeted by the welcoming owner Flo Mandus, busy assisting the little ones with their craft projects. Encouraged to create whatever they desired, the duo decided on a whimsical project: sun hats. Emma picked a white hat adorned with sunflowers while Suzy opted for a vibrant blue hat featuring citrus designs.
Artistic Adventures Await
At My Maker Scape, the atmosphere was infused with laughter and creativity as the pair immersed themselves in painting their unique hats, a process that took them about two hours. The joy didn’t end there; upon completion, they strutted out in their freshly painted sun hats, ready for lunch, shopping, and drinks, where they were met with compliments on their artistic flair.
My Maker Scape has gained popularity not only for its cozy studio in Indialantic but also for its spacious facility in Cocoa Village. As detailed on My Maker Scape’s website, it hosts a range of workshops suitable for public and private events, from girls‘ nights out to baby showers and corporate team-building activities. The studio emphasizes creativity and the joy of making, providing a refreshing option for gatherings that are both enjoyable and engaging.
Creating Community Connections
In the realm of creative workshops, studios like My Maker Scape are not alone. Another locale, Pinspiration, offers a social environment for DIY art and design projects, where participants can even sip on a drink while creating. The franchise emphasizes the importance of a fun and relaxed atmosphere but also insists that all guests complete a Waiver and Release to acknowledge the perks and potential risks of indulging in artistic activities, as explained in their documentation available on Pinspiration’s website.
As more people in Florida explore creative outlets, venues like My Maker Scape and Pinspiration are not just places to make art; they are community gathering spots where friendships form amidst paint splatters and laughter. Emma and Suzy’s day off was more than just a break from their busy lives; it was a celebration of creativity, fun, and community spirit. With such vibrant options available, locals are inspired to pick up a brush and let their imaginations run wild.
