Please join us to celebrate Wysdom and her sensitive drawings. We will also have on hand all that we are up to these days.

 Celebrating our time on Beacon Hill is in order, as we will be leaving our beautiful store/studio to go on the road. You will also be able to find us online and the stores which carry our work. We hope to have more of those stores very soon. We promise not to loose touch with those who have been enormously supportive of this grand experiment!

Cocktails, snacks, laughs, maybe some live music!

Enjoy and stay tuned...

For centuries, tarot cards have been used as a powerful and tangible tool to focus natural intuition for personal insight.  In this fascinating workshop, field trippers will learn about the history, imagery, and symbolism of the tarot -- 78 cards believed to have powers to predict the future and better understand the present. Field trippers will learn about the major and minor arcana, how to use tarot spreads, explore a variety of decks and have the chance to create their own tarot card.  

Curious?  Join us and gain insight and guidance in this creative and expansive workshop.

Winter months are the perfect time to welcome nature into our homes ... improving both our moods and air quality.  What better way to do so than with a beautifully mounted or moss-bound staghorn fern?  These shade-loving epiphytic plants are named for their resemblance to antlers.  Easy to care for and visually stunning, these natural works of art will be a welcome addition to any living space.

Field trippers will go home with their own mounted or kokedama staghorn fern, along with care instructions and skills to create more.

As we retreat to the indoors, what better way to welcome nature into our homes than with a beautiful mounted staghorn fern?  These shade loving epiphytic (they grow without soil) plants are named for their resemblance to antlers - think of it as taxidermy you can feel good about.  Easy to care for and visually stunning, these plants will be a welcome addition to any living space.

Field trippers will go home with their own mounted fern along with care instructions and the skills to create more.  All supplies provided including a variety of wood mounts to choose from.  

Snacks and libations will be provided.

Nathan Hards Photography

Starting two and half years ago, I embarked on the hunt to capture the allure and personality that makes up the world around us.  Using a 35mm film camera, my photographs are taken in a quick and unplanned manner.  These images make up a larger collective that captures the charisma otherwise overlooked by the busyness and commotion of everyday life.

Beyond the Bark

Photography by Ann Hunstiger, a Beacon Hill artist, explores found images in tree bark.  The artist looks at trees as offering gifts of images waiting to be seen. The images the trees hold are visible and invisible at the same time. They blend in and recede. They remind one to look at the magic and beauty present in every day life. They show glimpses of the divine, of beauty, grace, change and transformation.
