Join us at the CGP Play Day on May 17, 1-4 PM! Anne Semmler will present ideas on how to give your creative space some love and reorganization. We will also have a tour of Karen Nordstrom Roberts' home studio as well as a members' Supply Exchange!

We will look at practical ideas to reduce clutter and plan projects, not only with physical solutions but also a highly adaptable "kanban" process for creative workflow. We will discuss ideas for how others have organized their spaces, no matter what size, so bring your suggestions! We will compile everyone's tips and send a summary and resources to all attendees after the meeting.

• Karen's address will be sent to those who register.
• This is a members-only event. Non-members are welcome to join the guild to attend, with their payment applied to membership dues for the 2026/27 year.
• The event is free, but your RSVP is required to secure your spot. Attendance is limited.

Supplies

• Notebook & Pen, if you would like to take notes
• If you have items to bring for a Supply Exchange, please bring in a small container or box. We will have bags if needed to take new treasures home.

About Our Hosts:

Karen's Studio: Before & After Organization

Karen is a self-described Clutter Bug with 30 years of calligraphy supplies, paper, completed and partially completed work. She'll give a tour of her studio and describe what organizing strategies have worked for her but admits that any system is only as good as you are committed to following it. The easier the system, the better!

Parking Information

There will be plenty of street parking available in front of Karen's home.
