The Hive is an absolute joy of a gem in little downtown South Pasadena. A great space with a lot of positive energy. Numerous classes to take with like-minded artisans. I had a blast at the art journaling workshop--will definitely be back! Here is the mixed media collage I did (shameless self-promotion alert!)
