Hi

Autumn is off to a fabulous start and considering what's in store, it's only going to get better! We've got a town covered in art, an incredible guest instructor and author teaching never-before-taught-here wire working classes, and a trunk show benefitting young people in Ghana.

Grand Haven Art Walk has officially begun, so come view 100+ works of art downtown through October 7. This is an annual collaboration of artists, local businesses and members of the lakeshore community in a collective celebration of art. Our store will feature 3 artists and their artwork this year!

Next, join us on October 2nd & 3rd for FOUR wire working classes taught by guest instructor Melody MacDuffee AND a Trunk Show featuring Soul of Somanya African artisan products, including cabochons, pendant beads, painted beads, symbolic charms, pendants, findings, and so much more! 

Melody will be offering the following four, one-time classes. You DO NOT want to miss out on learning these wire working techniques that make for stunning jewelry! Click the links for more details and to sign up online! Otherwise, call the store to sign up at 616-296-0020.
