There are some materials that cannot be sourced locally such as some of the inks, paints and dyes and the cloth used for trapunto quilting and tools that do not have local counterparts such as those used in parchment craft. As much as possible though, Zeny tries to make the various arts and crafts supplies affordable for everyone. Imported embroidered card kits sell for P400 to P600 but a simple kit can be had for P75. Plus, if you are totally clueless as to which type of craft you can indulge in, fret not, they ve got classes here too. Every month, Craft World releases a list of craft classes that are reasonable priced at P200-P900 per lesson depending on the art form.
Some classes run up to four hours, others are over in two.
Classes are offered mostly on weekends and taught by Zeny and her sons. Zeny handles candlemaking, parchment craft and soap making while Bernie teaches stained glass sticker art and glass etching. The rest of the classes are mostly taught by her assistants in the shop. For Zeny, a former head of training in a bank, the classes are something she truly enjoys. Today, the classes she handles are much smaller and more personalized.
