Post updated July 1, 2021

Do any of these descriptions sound like you?

A. You want to make something, but never thought of yourself as “creative” so you don’t even try.

B. You love to create but feel bored with it because you keep making the same things.

C. Making is only fun for you if you get to do it with others but there are no workshops near you.

D. You’re a little bit of everything above – or maybe you’re NONE of the above!!!

No matter which one you relate to, what can you do about it?

Josie and Sally (The IOD Sisters)

You know how much we adore inspiring and teaching you, our beloved Creative Tribe. That’s why we want to keep sharing new ways to help you grow your skills to the next level.

That might be moving you from a complete craft newbie to a hobbyist or from an experienced upcycler to an advanced DIYer.

Whatever your skill level, we ❤️ you! This course is our way of continuing to encourage you on your creative journey wherever you are!

Just what the doctor ordered to bust you out of your creative rut or to start your very first adventure!

Through a series of self-paced step-by-step videos, we hold your hand while you create a classic wall piece of a flow blue china bowl filled with fresh summer lemons.

On top of making this beautiful wall decor, in this course you’ll learn techniques you can apply to other DIY and crafting projects. And if you get stuck, you’ll have access to an exclusive Facebook group just for students of this course where the IOD Team will coach you through and cheer you on.

Here’s what some of our students are saying:

I recently purchased your class on the lemons in a bowl and I loved everything about it. The video was so good and thorough. The written instructions were very detailed and easy to follow.

– Debra H.

I think your Lemons in Bowl course is super great, because it is really suitable for everyone. The individual steps are fun and are also explained great (because of my lack of English skills you even have photos) so nothing can happen. And from a simple board to this final result, the creative experience is just mega!

– Anja M.
