Mix cocktails and creativity for your next happy hour! Take on a creative project with one of our instructors, as you learn to play with a variety of media in the studios. We provide instruction, supplies, a tasty beverage, and plenty of time to socialize. Welcome spring with a burst of color and creativity as you explore Pysanky, the enchanting Ukrainian tradition of decorating eggs. Using warmed beeswax to “write” whimsical patterns and meaningful symbols, you’ll build up layers of bright, joyful dyes that transform each egg into a vibrant little treasure. This magical process takes egg decorating to a whole new level, turning simple shells into miniature masterpieces. These charming creations look beautiful on display all year long and bring a happy pop of color to any corner of your home.

Taught by Jerelyn Abicca-Smestad 
Explore the vibrant world of silk painting in this hands-on workshop where creativity flows freely and each scarf becomes a unique masterpiece. Participants learn the art of painting on silk, utilizing dyes and various techniques to create stunning designs on white silk scarves. 
White silk scarves are meticulously hand-washed and stretched on large frames to prepare them for painting. The use of high-quality, 100% silk ensures vibrant and lasting colors. Using dyes as the medium of choice, participants learn to apply layers of color using foam brushes, creating textures and natural motifs. Each layer is dried with blow dryers and manipulated with brushes, paper, and rubbing alcohol to achieve desired effects. Up to 30 layers of color on a single scarf can be added, each adding depth and complexity to your design. After the painting process is complete, scarves are steamed, rinsed and ironed to set the colors permanently to ensure the vibrancy and longevity of your artwork. Participants have the option to hand-bead their scarves for added personalization.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a beautifully hand-painted silk scarf to take home, reflecting your individual creativity and the techniques learned during the class. Whether you're looking to explore a new hobby or expand your artistic skills, this workshop offers a delightful journey into the world of textile artistry.
Saturday, 9 am – 4 pm (includes one hour lunch break)

Gather 360

A building long familiar to local residents as a beloved auto body shop in the Mago Point section of Waterford has been thoughtfully reintroduced as Gather 360, a boutique gathering space designed for smaller, memorable celebrations. The venue is especially suited for bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, micro-weddings, and other intimate gatherings. Rather than a traditional banquet hall, the setting feels relaxed and welcoming, allowing guests to open the three-bay garage doors and move comfortably between indoor gathering rooms and the surrounding outdoor areas. Natural textures, warm wood tones, and lush garden spaces create an atmosphere that feels tucked away, encouraging conversation and connection rather than formality. The grounds include a reservable pickleball court for members along landscaped paths and gardens that attract seasonal monarch butterflies, giving visitors a reason to linger and return beyond a single event. The property also features Gather 360 Eats, a one-of-a-kind coastal container kitchen offering familiar local favorites prepared with a simple, elevated approach. Guests may order online or at the service window and enjoy outdoor dining throughout the property. Gather 360 is currently booking events and welcoming guests for the 2026 season.

Rustic-chic private farm venue in scenic Stonington, CT 

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades.

Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy.
