Welcoming Winter at The Clearing

As a “kickoff” fundraiser for a building that will house a blacksmith forge, The Clearing will host a Welcoming Winter Wine & Cheese Reception on Dec. 15 from 4 – 7 pm. The public is welcome to enjoy an evening of fine wines, specialty and artisan cheeses, holiday sweets, live Christmas music and the camaraderie and fellowship of Clearing friends, all in the glow of a crackling fire and The Clearing’s “Christmas forest.” Tickets are $50 per person, and should be purchased in advance. All proceeds will support the blacksmith forge building, scheduled for ground breaking late in 2012.

The Clearing was the recipient of a generous donation from Jean Barrett of quality blacksmithing equipment and supplies in 2010. This was the catalyst for creating a blacksmithing and metal work program at The Clearing, adding to its current complement of classes in the arts, fine crafts, humanities and natural sciences.

The Welcoming Winter Wine & Cheese Reception will be held at the Jens Jensen Center at 12171 Garrett Bay Road in Ellison Bay. For reservations, or for more information call 920.854.4088.
