Haunted New England is a coastal Halloween art experience created for kids and families. Inspired by weathered lighthouses, foggy ghost ships, haunted seaside cottages, watchful ravens, witches, and legendary creatures of the Atlantic, this collection blends seaside charm with a touch of spooky fun. Participants paint premium laser-cut wood signs featuring bold, easy-to-follow artwork designed for Hammer & Stain Wickford. The projects are beginner friendly for ages 8 and up and work well for first-time makers or family groups. Choose from 6×16 inch planks, 12 inch squares, or 12 inch rounds, then customize your piece with classic Halloween colors, metallic accents, or glitter to create a unique decoration or handmade gift. Each design nods to moonlit shores, windswept harbors, and maritime folklore, leaving plenty of room for personal creativity. Whether crafting together in the studio or finishing at home, bring a bit of autumn by the sea into your decor.
