DUNWOODY ENTREPRENEUR’S CONTEMPORARY CRAFTING CLASSES!
Justus Keaton is a Jane of all trades. She consults with small businesses and fellow entrepreneurs, she is skilled in graphic design, and she loves working with her hands. Armed with a degree in design and applied arts from the University of Southern California, Keaton shares her passion with others by teaching sewing courses from her studio near Georgetown Shopping Center. Her refreshing approach to traditional crafts attracts a diverse range of students from teenagers to aspiring entrepreneurs.
For those interested in sewing, Keaton offers both weekly, four-week courses and individual one-day classes. Individual, one-day sewing classes are held on Sundays and require a $130 registration fee while four-week courses begin on the first Saturday of the month and are held in the evenings for $375. The weekly courses build skills progressively, each week taking previous steps a bit farther. Beginners start with simple projects like keychains or dog collars, then move to more complex items like sleeping masks and rollup jewelry organizers. After taking classes herself, Keaton wanted to give her students autonomy and choice. She selected a series of simple, relevant and engaging projects to choose from.
In addition to sewing, Keaton offers Saturday soap making that has become one of her most popular classes. Participants learn to craft their own soaps and design and prototype their own labels, providing a valuable introduction to branding for budding entrepreneurs. “The idea is if you started a soap business, what would your logo look like? What would your labeling look like? I help attendees actually make prototypes of their logos,” Keaton says.
Students of all ages, including teenagers, are welcome to register. With a maximum of 10 students per session, participants receive personalized attention and guidance. Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, explore your creative side or start a small business, Keaton’s crafting classes offer a unique and empowering experience. “I found my calling in teaching other people how to do these skills. I want them to be successful, so they can love it as much as I do.”
