Tu B’Shevat Wire Tree Sculpture Workshop

Make something beautiful. Celebrate something meaningful.
Join us for a hands-on Tu B’Shevat workshop where you’ll twist, shape, and sculpt your very own wire tree — a perfect way to honor the Jewish “New Year of the Trees.”

Award-winning sculptor Ryan Kelley will walk you step-by-step through creating a miniature tree on a fist-sized rock base. Choose your style — windswept, whimsical, classic, or abstract — and watch your vision take root, branch by branch.

No experience needed.
All tools and materials provided.
Bring a rock or use one of ours.

This is a fun, meditative, and surprisingly addictive creative experience — and you’ll go home with a unique piece of art that celebrates growth, resilience, and the beauty of trees in winter.

Why Tu B’Shevat?
Tu B’Shevat invites us to pause, plant seeds (literally and figuratively), and reconnect with the natural world. Your handmade tree sculpture is a perfect take-home ritual object to keep those intentions alive all year.
