Hello, I'm Shannon! I am a maker. I come from a long line of makers. The name Eva Blake comes from my family tree and embraces the ingenuity and creativity of every woman.
On May 5, 2011, while struggling to find a way to fulfill my creative side and stretch the skills I developed as an architectural designer, I happened upon a small, teal $3 tin recipe box at an antique store. I couldn't put it down. It spoke to my love of vintage kitchen kitsch and homemade. An hour later I had formed a small idea and it grew by the minute. By the end of the week I had my business "recipe" and a vision on index cards overflowing the box. By March two years later Eva Blake's Makery & Emporium had a name, a plan and a mission to make the world happier through making.
I feel everyone is creative and can learn to make something amazing and lovely. Eva Blake's Makery makes creativity simply "As Easy As Pie". I love to teach and see others excited as they learn to create something new.
