Gather. Create. Grow.
Afton Oak Studio is a cozy, hands-on workshop space for adults who want to slow down, work with their hands, and discover the joy of making. Each class is unhurried, beginner-friendly, and designed to help you build confidence as you try new crafts and leave with a piece that feels uniquely yours.
Here, creativity is simple, welcoming, and grounded in community. You will find warm guidance, clear instruction, and projects that are easy to follow yet deeply satisfying—so you can enjoy the process, grow your skills, and remember how good it feels to make something by hand.
THE STUDIO
Art rooted in curiosity and craft
Afton Oak Studio is the creative practice of Amanda Romero, a Colorado Springs artist and workshop instructor whose work spans photography, cyanotype printing, macramé, pottery, embroidery, mixed media, and more.
Named after the oak trees of her Houston childhood neighborhood, the studio is a gathering place for adults who want to slow down, work with their hands, and reconnect with the quiet joy of making things by hand. No experience is required; classes are designed to be approachable, clear, and beginner-friendly, with plenty of guidance along the way.
WHAT WE BELIEVECreativity is for everyone
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
Every class is designed for beginners. You’ll leave with a finished piece you’re proud of - even on your first try.
GUIDED THE WHOLE WAY
Amanda leads every class herself - teaching techniques, sharing stories, and making sure you enjoy the process.
SMALL & INTENTIONAL
With a maximum of 14 students, every class is intimate. You’ll get one on one attention, a fun and relaxed pace, and great conversation.
Upcoming Classes
Join us for the very first workshop at Afton Oak Studio and experience an evening of creativity, connection, and hands on making.
In this beginner friendly class, you will create your own Soluna sun catcher while enjoying a relaxed and intimate setting with a small group. This workshop is designed to guide you step by step as you design and assemble a layered sun and moon piece that catches the light and adds a beautiful touch to your space.
You will have access to a thoughtfully curated selection of hoops, wire, prisms, crystals, and beads in a variety of colors, allowing you to create something that feels truly personal and unique. Amanda will walk you through simple wire wrapping techniques, how to create a balanced design, and how to finish your piece so it hangs beautifully.
By the end of the evening, you will leave with a completed sun catcher that reflects your own style, and new creative skills. You may find yourself leaving with a few new friends as well.
To make the night even more special, we will be joined by our good friends The Well Worn Soul, who will be playing live music throughout the workshop.
