Join Lacuna Loft for a unique workshop experience!  This fall Lacuna Loft will be hosting our Masquerade on the Moon Gala. This is your opportunity to give back!  In this workshop, create a one of a kind piece that represents what Lacuna Loft means to you, your cancer journey, or how you’ve healed after your diagnosis.  We’ll send you what you need!  Aerial will help you brainstorm different ideas, walk you through different processes, and you can hang out while getting creative with other young adult cancer survivors and caregivers!

Unlike our other workshop experiences, after the Create A Piece Workshop, put your one of a kind masterpiece in your provided envelope and ship it back to us!  You get to keep the supplies!  We’ll proudly display your artwork and sell it to gala attendees.  All proceeds will benefit Lacuna Loft.  Submit your receipt for return postage and Lacuna Loft will reimburse you (up to $8)!  (If you’d prefer to not have your artwork put up for auction at the Gala then we ask that you wait for another workshop in our series to participate.)

Who: 20 young adult cancer patients/survivors and young adult cancer caregivers.

Sign Up For The Embroider Your State Workshop!

Update:  The workshop is now full.  Please sign up below to be notified when the next workshop is announced!

Lacuna Loft’s online State Embroidery Workshop is the 14th in our #LetsMakeStuff @LacunaLoft series of online workshops!

This workshop is designed to teach you the basics of embroidery stitches while combining a negative space style and your love for a particular state or country. If you’ve never done this before, you’re in luck! Anna, an artist out of NYC, will go step-by-step through everything! If you love embroidery and you’re a real pro already, no problem! While some of the tutorial will be more than you need, the rest of the time spent stitching and being artsy with other young adult cancer peers will be totally worth it. In this workshop, you’ll learn some basic embroidery stitches, including the ever-useful back stitch! We will whip up a fabulous state or country piece of your choice and with the skills you’ll learn, you can then move on to embroider just about anything!  When you sign up you can choose a state or country as well as a color combination (we’ll match it as closely as we can!) and then look forward to a fun workshop!

Update:  The workshop is now full.  Please fill out the interest form below to be notified when the next Creative Art Workshop is forming.

Are you a young adult cancer survivor or a young adult cancer caregiver? Do you like making lists? Do you like having goals to reach for?  This is the perfect workshop for you!

Lacuna Loft’s online 101 Tasks in 1,001 Days List Workshop is the 13th in our #LetsMakeStuff @LacunaLoft series of online Creative Art Workshops!

This workshop is designed to help you create a list of 101 tasks to complete over a period of 1,001 days.  Amanda will give you examples on how she structured her own list and there will be time for people to share some of their goals and get their creative juices flowing!  Join us for a night of goal setting and inspiration!  Enjoy a social setting and a fabulous motivational activity while hanging out with your young adult cancer peers!

Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined.  Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).  Exciting!  Why 1,001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple challenges such as New Year’s resolutions or a ‘Bucket List’.  The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic.  1,001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.  Here’s more info on the 101 in 1,001 List project!

Who:  15 young adult cancer survivors and caregivers.

When: Monday, July 30th @ 5:30-7:30 pm PT / 7:30-9:30 pm CT / 8:30-10:30 pm ET via video chat.

How does it work?  We’ll send you all of the materials you need to participate!  Lacuna Loft will send you an email about a week before the workshop with information on how to join the video chat.  ***You’ll need the link that we’ll provide you, a headset with a microphone, and a webcam.***
