Crafty Chicks: Custom Porch & Entryway Welcome Sign Workshop
About this Event
There are people who craft, and then there are people who make you believe you can craft. Joanne Emmer of Hartland is absolutely the latter. With her down‑to‑earth “just try it” attitude and her gift for blending creativity with encouragement, Joanne turns even the most hesitant beginner into a confident maker.
In this hands‑on workshop, you’ll design and create your own custom welcome sign that is perfect for any front door, porch or entryway. Joanne brings her deep knowledge of word crafting, painting, and creative design, offering you the choice of stencils or Cricut applications to personalize your board. The result? A polished, professional‑looking sign that appears as if it were crafted by a seasoned artist… even if this is your very first attempt.
And while your board takes shape, you’ll be soaking in the kind of relaxation that only Folk Song Farm can deliver.
Sip on mocktails, wine, and enjoy light hors d’oeuvres. Settle into the glow of the 173‑year‑old barn as the September sun sets through its beams. Whether you arrive with a pack of friends or come solo hoping for a little creative escape, you’ll leave with:
- A custom welcome sign ready to display
- A new skill you’ll want to use again
- And the kind of memories that only happen when community gathers in a place this magical
The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. and wraps up around 8:00 p.m.—or whenever the conversations finally drift into the night.
A cozy, creative fall evening you won’t want to miss.
