Hatch

Hatch new skills. Hatch your creativity. Hatch something beautiful. I am Maritza Maxwell and I founded Hatch in 2012. Hatch offers private classes at your home.

I have a degree in Fine Arts and Art History from Amherst College and a master's degree in Art History from Bryn Mawr College. I watch my children rejoice in making crafts, but I wonder, as they start school, how soon arts and crafts will become unnecessary to them. Once they have a full language and science curriculum, and then sports and other extra-curricular activities after school, the art wo

rld fades further and further away. Many people lose their ability to create, forget how to imagine, and then as adults, have a difficult time when asked to "think outside the box". I have started this company to pass along the joy that I have in creating beautiful things, to teach new skills, and to reinforce skills that are dormant in us. Choose a class, invite some friends over, and learn to make something that you will be proud of!

What a whirlwind weekend! Thursday show at a lovely country club in ALX, then a 4-hour drive to Philadelphia to stay with my bestie. Friday I had a pop-up, as well as a class on Danish Stars at a large corporate HQ for their Philly Fridays series. Home Friday night and a wonderful show at Washington-Liberty HS on Saturday. Today I taught quilled snowflakes to a small group in ALX. I so enjoyed all the sweet people I encountered the last 4 days. This is an incredible job. 🧡

New product alert! When I was a kid, I had a wooden puzzle that I loved. Each piece had numbers that you had to match up with the numbers on the adjacent tiles . I re-created it using a 3-D printer, and created a decorative box to hold the tiles. It's one of my new favorite things!

I just taught a fun quilling class to 10 eager students. They learned 10+ different shapes and finished at least one of their cherry blossoms.
