Bring your own sewing, beading, collage or accessorizing projects to get tips, or embark on something new! Some materials provided and others are available for purchase from Leslie, or bring your own. Even if you have no idea what to make, you can learn some great handwork tips from Leslie and embark on a new craft!

Short classes make parking a breeze! $1 for 2.5 hours at Structure 6, right around the corner.
Leslie Robinson has been crafty ever since she was a little girl, growing up in rural Illinois. She comes from a line of un-traditionally traditional creative types and has always been passionate about history and the arts. After graduating from University twenty years ago, she packed up a U-Haul and moved to Los Angeles. Inspired by the weather and the vibrant visual feast that is L.A., Santa Monica and Hollywood, she has continued to create under two guises: Hooray4lala (hooray4lala.blogspot.com) and Flapper Femme (flapperfemme.com). Her work can be seen in her two Etsy shops and on the Flapper Femme blog, where she explores the connection between modern living and the consumer trends, fashion and historical events in the period of the 1920’s-30’s. An experienced, patient and enthusiastic instructor, Leslie lives to create and share her unique vision with others. She would love to create something special with you, soon! 1450 Ocean offers arts, crafts and culture classes year-round. Polish your writing, take a better picture, learn how to make paper, knit, sew, and find a community of artists and movers!
