Join the mother/daughter duo Shauna Little and Afton Harding and learn how to turn your art into fabric and MORE! As founders of Clara Jean Design, Shauna and Afton have worked to bring their designs to Dear Stella Fabrics, as well as in wallpaper, sporting goods, children’s clothing, paper goods and greeting cards. Learn how it's done in this exciting, new, four-part class!
