B.Y.O.Craft
How many times have you scrolled on social media to find an interesting tutorial, then told yourself I don’t have time to recreate that?
This month we’re getting festive and exploring creative outlets outside of our profession. Pumpkin painting, handmade decorations, last minute costumes — the list is endless. Join us for all things fall by bringing a new craft and your favorite craft beer (or hard cider, PSL, Witches’s Brew, etc. — we won’t judge!).
We’ll be burning our favorite seasonal scents from Kalamazoo Candle Company and playing some tunes to get you in the sweater-weather mood.

Creativity & Inspiration
How do you get out of a creative rut? For some of us the answers are found within a self-help book, for some it's as simple as going for a walk to clear your head.
This month we'll celebrate our unique creative processes and share our tricks of the trade. We invite you to bring something that inspires you; be it a book, object, or person—and your favorite drink to sip on (we recommend wine, but hey, it's just in our name!).
September marks the 1 year anniversary for Ladies, Wine & Design in Kalamazoo—join the party and get to know like-minded creatives within the Kalamazoo community!
