Come do something just because it sounds fun—and make a little room for the version of you that gets buried under being useful to everyone else.

You’ve watched stories unfold on the Memorial Auditorium stage. Now, come make something of your own.

Strung Together is a hands-on wall hanging workshop designed to give you a couple of hours to create, connect, and do something that’s just for you.

No experience needed. Choose your pieces, paint them your way, and leave with something worth hanging on your wall.

Saturday, August 15
12:30–2:30 PM
Memorial Auditorium | Pittsburg, Kansas
$45 — all materials included

When was the last time you did something that wasn't for your kids, your job, your partner or anyone else?

Stop waiting for the perfect free night, the perfect friend to ask, or the perfect mood to magically appear.

This Saturday is the plan.

We’re gathering at Memorial Auditorium to make custom wall planters: textured, earthy pieces with plants, sculptural details, and a table full of supplies already waiting for you.

Come with a friend.
Come with your partner.
Come solo if you’re tired of waiting on everyone else to make the plan for you.

You’ll leave with something handmade, something alive, and two hours that didn’t disappear into errands, scrolling, or the usual routine.

Tomorrow is the final day to reserve your spot.

Saturday, July 11
4:00–6:00 PM
Memorial Auditorium
$45 / $55 with plant

Comment PLANTER and I’ll send you the details.

Grab the person you keep meaning to make plans with and come make a wall planter you’ll actually want to hang in your home this Saturday at Memorial Auditorium.

We’ll have earthy materials, sculptural details, plants, and a table full of supplies ready for you.

No need to be “creative.”
No need to know what you’re doing.
Just show up, pick your direction, and make something that feels

Bring a friend, your partner, your sister, your mom, or come solo and meet great people.

Last night was a damn good time.

Yes, everyone left with the cutest little bookshelf portal but what made it work was the room.

People sharing tools, swapping ideas, laughing, helping each other, and turning a table full of moss, mushrooms, glue, and tiny doors into something way more fun than it had any right to be.

Every time I host one of these, I hear some version of the same things:
“We've been needing something like this!”
"Thank you for making this happen!"
"This is the most fun I've had in a long time!"

These gatherings are selling out faster, getting more fun, and becoming exactly what we hoped they would be.

If you were there last night, drop your photos in the comments or tag yourself. I want people to see the faces that made the night what it was.

Thank you for making SEK a better place.
More are already in the works.
