Mixed Media Whimsical Wreaths Saturday | December | 6:00-9:00 | $65 Join us for an evening of fun as we create a whimsical wreath. Students will be provided with a basic natural wreath form that they will transform into a whimsical ornamental piece to enjoy year round. We will be using various metals, fabrics and personalized clay miniatures to incorporate in our wreaths! Gnomes, mushrooms, houses, and more! Let your imagination run wild in this whimsical class.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
