✨ Prepping for Art in the Green: A Weekend Under the Domes
This weekend, I’m packing up my tools, my copper jewelry, and a whole lot of creative energy for an event I’ve been dreaming about: Art in the Green at the iconic Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee.
I’ve never actually been to the domes myself — just admired them from afar — but everything about this space feels magical. A lush, light-filled greenhouse setting full of artists and makers? Sign me up. I’m beyond thrilled (and a little nervous!) to be part of this two-day event.
This trip marks a small milestone for me: I recently upgraded my setup and invested in this new travel case that replaces the three open-top tote bags I’ve been hauling around from event to event. 🙃 This new case has space for everything — jewelry, displays, tools, packaging — and I already feel so much more prepared and organized heading into this weekend.
What I’m Bringing:
I’ve been working on a lot of new copper pieces this month — think: warm, earthy textures and hand-forged designs that carry a little bit of nature and intention in every shape. I’ll be sharing peeks throughout the week as I finish up the final touches. Keep an eye on Instagram if you want to follow along!
While my husband and son are holding it down at home, I’ll be solo-vending this time — just me, a car full of copper, and a cozy hotel stay in between. It’s going to be a whirlwind, but I’m so excited to connect with new people, fellow makers, and everyone who comes through the event.
If you're in the Milwaukee area, come say hi! I’ll be under the domes, soaking in the creative energy and sharing my work in person — one of my favorite parts of this wild little business of mine.
