Wind Chimes

Turn found objects into a one-of-a-kind work of art in this hands-on wind chime or wall hanging workshop. Using vintage and upcycled treasures like cookie tins, teapots, colanders, beads, keys, crystals, silverware, and more, you’ll design and build your own whimsical piece from start to finish. Choose your base, pick your hanging materials, peruse a communal collection of trinkets, then assemble it all with guidance and access to our drill station.

More than just a craft project, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, work with your hands, and notice the beauty hidden in everyday objects.

No experience is needed— All supplies included. Just show up ready to create!

You will leave with a completed, one-of-a-kind upcycled wind chime made from vintage and found materials as well as a basic knowledge of how to select and combine materials, use simple drilling and assembly techniques, and continue creating similar projects at home using everyday objects and salvaged treasures.  Take with you lots of inspiration, design ideas, and the confidence to turn overlooked items into functional art.

Long after the workshop is over, the soft sound of the chimes can serve as a reminder of the time spent creating, slowing down, and finding beauty in the mundane.

Bio: Chloe is a designer, artist, and creative entrepreneur whose work centers on finding beauty in everyday objects and helping others see familiar materials in a new way.

Shibori Indigo

Discover the ancient art of natural dyeing and step into the world of indigo, one of nature’s most captivating colors.

In this hands-on workshop, artist, educator, and gardener Susan Mania guides you through the living magic of indigo — a dye with a history stretching back thousands of years and a depth of color no synthetic can replicate.

You’ll explore the history, science, and artistry behind natural indigo, then roll up your sleeves and bring it to life.

Learn how to build and maintain your own indigo vat — a breathing, living dye bath — and discover how it transforms fabric, paper, and other natural materials with rich, luminous blues. Through the Japanese art of Shibori, you’ll use folding, binding, and resist techniques to create stunning, one-of-a-kind patterns on your own organic bandanna to take home. No two pieces are ever the same.

You’ll leave with:

     A hand-dyed Shibori bandanna you made yourself

     Recipes and technical guides to set up your own vat at home

     The confidence to keep dyeing long after the workshop ends

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned maker, this workshop

offers a meditative, creative experience rooted in craft traditions that

have endured for centuries.

All materials provided.

Herbal tea served for refreshment.
