POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A very special Halloween-themed 🎃 WEAD Art Salons Series is happening THIS SUNDAY, and there are a few seats still open! Create a mini-monster from clay for your Halloween door decoration, trick-or-treat candy bowl, or whatever you can dream up! Take it next level and add some dry ice and/or candles for effect! Get creative! All skill (and no skill) levels welcome!

The WEAD monthly salon series is an opportunity to meet a local artist, hear their story and learn about their craft, and then engage in some creative and fun way while you're inspired. Audience sizes are small to encourage conversation and connection, plus drinks and light bites are provided by the WEAD team.

Don't miss this month! Meet Janet Taylor of Bay Haven Ceramics Studio • Sunday, October 18 • 3-6pm. Hear her story, her pathway into ceramics, and the adventures of opening the studio.
