Interchangeable Home Decor Tile Ladder Workshop
With local artist Stacie from Boondocks

The leaning farmhouse-style ladder frame is designed to hold three small decorative tiles at a time. Instead of changing out an entire sign or piece of decor for every holiday or season, you simply slide the tiles in and out of the ladder and replace them with a different set.
All supplies, snacks/refreshments and instruction are included.
Only 12 spots are available
Date: October 3rd, 2026
