Opened at the end of June this year, \u201cMy Creative Joy\u201d allows visitors the opportunity to show their artistic side by completing craft projects on-site. Owners Kristie Kreis and Michele Barnes are excited about their new business, where they get to share their crafty knowledge and teach others premier projects.<\/p>\n<p>Kreis shared, \u201cMy Creative Joy is a business where visitors can make it, take it and love it. We also hope everyone leaves a class feeling a little more joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Located at 211 Main St. in Owego, N.Y., the My Creative Joy studio is next door to V.F.W. Post 1371 and right across the street from the Tioga Theater. On the first floor of a renovated house, My Creative Joy offers its visitors a homey atmosphere to have creative fun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking time to create\u201d in a home-like atmosphere is part of the appeal of My Creative Joy, which helps relieve the worry about selecting the right supplies and materials, and setting up and cleaning up afterwards, all of which is left in the hands of the class instructors.<\/p>\n<p>Classes offered at My Creative Joy include soap making, beading and jewelry, chalk painting, wire wrapping, soutache, arm knitting, candle making, and silverware art, to name just a few. Applying many ideas from Pinterest pages, classes at My Creative Joy bring to life today\u2019s contemporary craft projects. \u00a0Whether your interests lie in revamping an old suitcase into a table utilizing chalk painting methods, repurposing old drawers into flower planters or giving your old furniture a \u201cshabby-chic\u201d vintage makeover, along with countless other ideas, My Creative Joy makes your dreams for creativity a reality.<\/p>\n<p>Kreis explained, \u201cWe all have ideas begging to be created, but very few actually get done. At Creative Joy, you will see your \u2018someday\u2019 projects come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kreis and Barnes were inspired to develop their business after Christmas in 2014. Creators of hand-made gifts for family and friends for several years, Kreis, a Tioga County native and graduate of Owego Free Academy, and Barnes, also a photographer who moved to the area about 15 years ago, thought the area was in need of a studio like My Creative Joy.<\/p>\n<p>The My Creative Joy studio is open for visitors to stop by every Friday from noon until 4 p.m., where examples of the owners work decorates the front room, including chalk-painted furniture. Customers can also browse items for sale such as homemade soap and a selection of bath and body products. Additional sale items will be made available in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Classes for adults and children are currently offered two days per week, including Saturday. With a class size of four to ten, new classes are starting in September. As a creative twist, kids can participate in a class at the same time a parent is attending a class. Kreis and Barnes also hope that My Creative Joy becomes a place where friends can meet up for a class, and parents and children can plan a unique birthday party.<\/p>\n<p>A list of classes will be available on the My Creative Joy web site, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mycreativejoy.com\" target=\"_blank\">mycreativejoy.com<\/a>, or on their Facebook page.
