Make Something Beautiful (Yes, You Can!)

About Me

Hi, I’m Arielle — maker, teacher, and professional collector of hobbies. ✨

Lemesto was born back in 2013 when I needed a creative outlet beyond the 9–5 grind. Armed with an art school degree, a restless curiosity, and way too many craft supplies, I started an Etsy shop. My first experiments were with leather, metal, and stone (get it? Le-me-sto), and the name stuck!

Since then, what I’ve made and sold has evolved a lot (let’s just say my phase of hand-stamping every single piece of jewelry didn’t last forever). But one thing’s been steady: my love for sharing crafts and building community. Whether it’s a messy craft night with friends, learning a new skill just for fun, or guiding a room full of people through a project they swore they “weren’t crafty enough” for — this is my happy place.

These days, Lemesto isn’t about selling products. It’s about the joy of making and the magic of doing it together. My workshops are mostly in Central Florida, but I’ve also taught in Los Angeles, NYC, and Raleigh (apparently glitter travels well).

I host public workshops around Orlando about once a month, and I also create private workshops for groups of 6+. And with an amazing team of teachers that I’ve personally trained - we’re available when you are. So whether you want a fun night out, a unique team-building activity, or just an excuse to finally try that project you saved on Pinterest three years ago — let’s make it happen!

Let’s get crafty!
