A crop-shop workshop doesn’t refer to food, but creating digital story books.Lydia Stucki, personal publishing consultant for Heritage Makers, said the crop-shop workshop is meant to bring area residents together to get to know each other and make digital storybooking a more social experience.
The workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday in the 1912 Center, sponsored by Heritage Makers. Heritage Makers is a company that provides online templates for people to create photo storybooks and other projects in a fun and simple way, Stucki said.
“Story booking is more than fun — it is meaningful,” Stucki said. “It changes families for the better.”
She said story booking allows people to make photos into a story by putting them into a published book.
The work shop is set up so people can drop in for various amounts of time, or stay and work on projects all day, she said, and there will also be booths selling multiple items in the craft world. She said laptops are necessary.
Stucki said there will be products from Herbalife, Scentsy, Scrapbella — traditional scrapbooking tools — and Strawberry Pearl, which sells home décor, along with various jewelry and bag booths.
“There is a little bit of everything,” Stucki said. “It is a unique event.”
She said that there will be product demonstration all day, starting with Heritage Makers at 11 a.m. A photographer will also be there to take family pictures for people who want to create holiday photos or Christmas cards.
Stucki said this is the first time a workshop like this has been done in this area, but she would love to make it an annual event.
