Mushroom ink etching on shelf fungus by Shannon Pump.

Mushroom ink, a little dirt and some berries! Welcome to Wine, Cheese & Crafty Things, a hands-on art night featuring creative guidance and the use of some surprising media. Join Ridges naturalist Shannon Pump on Nov. 28 at 3 pm and learn to create bold, beautiful treasures for keepsakes or gift giving while sampling some of the delicious wines and cheeses made in Door County. Meet at The Ridges Cabins, 8288 County Q in Baileys Harbor. Workshop fees are $10 for Ridges members, $13 for the general public.
