I met Ashley Goldberg last year at CHA. I was walking around checking out booths and laughing and chatting with my friends...and we came across Ashley's booth. And we all stopped dead in our tracks. And we all spent the next 30 minutes ooooh-ing and aaaaah-ing at Ashley and her art.
We stamped our hearts out with the stamps she had displayed...and we told her over and over and over how awesome she was and how much we loved her style.
CHA ended...a few months went by...and lo and behold, who do I see designing products for inclusion in a Studio Calico kit??? You got it! Ashley G!!!
I was over-the-moon excited to see her work again and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some of her designs.
And things just keep getting better...now Ashley is teaching a class at Studio Calico! And there are about a million of her designs for sale in the SC shop that go along with said class...and you can bet your bottom I've purchased every. last. one. Because Ashley G is just that amazing.
Here's what SC has to say about Ashley's class:
