We can't even count the years or ways we have loved watching and making amazing art and projects with the supremely creative Steven Sabados. So, we basically hounded him to let us into his studio for this new online series, In the Studio with Steven Sabados, where we get to actually follow along step-by-step as Steven teaches how to make original art, DIY, fashion and home decor pieces that he's created.

If you've been yearning to unlock your inner artist or take advantage of the myriad positive effects of art therapy on your health and happiness, this is your chance to finally do it with Steven. His first passion is fine art - he has a degree in it! - and he's recently used painting for its therapeutic benefits in difficult times. Over the years, he's blended art with design and other creations, and in this series he'll teach us how to paint with watercolours, silk screen, learn shibori and much, much more.

For this first project, Steven chose Marble Hydro Dipping. "This is probably the coolest thing that I've recently come across," he says, "and I'm kind of doing it to everything." It's a really fun and easy project with high impact results.
