Phoenix Crafts  Art offered a nice crafts workshop for the Mother's Day this year at the Ballon & Beyond shop, in Stamford, Connecticut (USA).

We had an easy and pleasent hour with our instructor Perla Gusy.  Skilled communicator, public speaker and former journalist, Perla became  a candle and soap artisan to have a more eco-friendly life. In 2016 she  founded Phoenix Crafts & Art as a sustainable, art and decor project. Based on many endeavors around the world, her idea is to  inspire people to spend less and reuse more in order to save the natural  resources from extinction.

In her studio in Stamford city, Perla dedicates her time creating 100% natural products such as soy wax candles, soaps, sachets, and repurposing porcelain and vintage pieces to present them as art deco options, vintage gifts or collectible items.

By  the way, this sustainable cycle inspired her business name. Phoenix is  the mythical bird fabled to live 500 years which after this period burns itself and rises from its ashes youth again.

This concept was explained to the workshop's attendees. They also learned how to prepare wrapped candles and paint original and unique candles in their home.
