On today's episode we visit with the queen of glueing stuff to stuff, Jennifer Perkins. A self proclaimed ADD crafter, Jennifer is a Jill of several different crafty trades. One minute she’s making candles from crayons the next she’s collaging with a 70’s Sears catalog.  The constant theme through those creative endeavors is her love of kitsch, color and all things vintage.  Whether she is crafting or decorating a Kitschmas tree, her distinct style shines through. Jennifer has had as many careers within the creative industry as she has had crafty passions.  She started her creative career as a jewelry designer but has worn many hats through the years including television host, brand ambassador and craft magazine editor. She has done ad campaigns for Michaels, been a guest on the Rachael Ray show multiple times and had her work featured in places like Country Living, Better Homes and Gardens and Houzz.  Most recently Jennifer is working on her 4th craft book which will be available in the fall of 2022. Jennifer has lived in Austin, TX for over 20 years.  She has two kiddlets, 1 husband, 2 dogs, 2 rabbits and 3 cats. If she’s not crafting, she’s at the thrift store.

This is no art retreat in a hotel conference room…and no, we’re not camping in tents… we’re actually “glamping” in climate controlled cabins that are built into the hillside overlooking the Guadalupe River, and we’re eating gourmet, chef-prepared food in a dining hall like we’re at Hogwarts!  We’re fully immersed in creative workshops like jewelry making, astrology, mixed media collage, apothecary, abstract painting, writing, sewing, yoga, welding, pottery, and we’ve even had classes on raising alpacas and tomahawk throwing!  No dishes, no laundry, no driving kids, and no deadlines or demanding bosses.  Just a solid five days to be YOU because we believe in the importance of discovering/reigniting the authentic part of you that makes you feel ALIVE and we know that CREATIVITY can be a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, self-care, connection, and just the spark you need to thrive.  When we’re not at camp learning, laughing, making, and singing by the campfire, we’re a thriving creative community of supportive women known as the Lucky Star Galaxy and we’d love for you to join us!   For dates and more information about our upcoming camps, visit our website at www.luckystarartcamp.com.
