Hi, I’m Ashley, founder of Cloverdale Creative and lifelong crafter. ​I’ve always had a deep love for making things by hand. Some of my earliest memories are spending the summer at my great grandmas house. It was very 90's style with minimal TV and lots of outdoors. Every time I would spend time at her house she had a ton of creative projects to try. I think that's where my love for creating began and its stuck ever since. Over the years, I’ve dabbled in just about every kind of art painting, jewelry, embroidery, sewing and beyond. But it wasn’t until my own daughter fell in love with creating that something really clicked. Watching her light up with every new project reminded me how powerful art can be for kids. I realized there weren’t many creative opportunities for children right here in Cloverdale, and I wanted to change that. So I decided to build something fun, accessible, and full of magic. I wanted a space where kids could explore their creativity, express themselves, and feel proud of what they make.​Cloverdale Creative has become more than just a business. It’s a way for me to connect with my community, inspire young artists, and also stay close to what matters most. I’m so grateful this journey gives me the freedom to spend precious time with my three amazing kids. Thanks for being here. I hope to create something beautiful with you soon!
