She said the approximately 1k sq. ft. studio, which she found online, is perfect for her expansion. “For me the space feels awesome and positive,” she said. “It feels like it can be used for creating.” Her studio is less a store and more an artistic workshop where she and guest artisans will teach the basics of “fiber art” and other “gift-able” skills as Sunshine grows.

Fiber art is just the beginning of the projects Guerrero is planning, and she welcomes suggestions. She said most projects will fit into two-hour blocks, and she’ll try to limit artwork to things people can fit into their car. Students will also be offered a snack to spur their creativity. Guerrero said her Grand Opening January 13th had several attendees but she was hoping for more turnout at the following week’s regular Moonlight on Melrose event.
Pre-scheduled classes will be posted online and will range $25-85 per person depending on skill level and material. Families can walk in each third Thursday evening (Moonlight) and enjoy a discounted, pre-arranged class for $10 a person. She hopes to fill the studio with crafters those nights.
Those interested should visit SunshineCraftCo.com rather than drop in randomly. Guerrero expects to use the space only when scheduled.
