This weekend in Lebanon, TN

Spend an easygoing evening turning a favorite pet photo into a watercolor keepsake. This interactive workshop is designed for beginners, with simple techniques that make painting approachable and fun. Your photo will be transformed into a custom outline so you can focus on color and creativity, and the pre-drawn design makes the process feel as comfortable as filling in a coloring page. Choose any palette you like to make the portrait truly your own. All materials are provided, and each finished piece measures 8.5 by 11 inches, with optional framing available for an additional $10. After registering, participants will be asked to email a clear, well-lit photo of their pet along with their name and order number so a personalized template can be prepared. Capacity is limited, so booking ahead is recommended. BYOB and snacks are welcome. Because supplies are prepared in advance, refunds are not available. If attendance becomes impossible, you can call to arrange a time to complete the purchased project.

Chuck Johnson and the Handsome Hooligans showcase their southern rock sound in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. The performance highlights the band’s own take on the genre for listeners in the area.

Create a soft, chunky knit blanket at Hammer & Stain-Mount Juliet during a guided workshop focused on hand-knitting. The finished blanket is planned to be approximately 40 by 60 inches. Participants select their yarn colors at the event, and availability is first come, first served. Anyone who prefers to lock in colors ahead of time can stop by the studio to pre-select. Seating is limited, and registration will close once all spots are filled. Guests may bring a snack and a beverage. Due to the planning and materials required, refunds are not offered. If attendance becomes impossible, call to schedule a time to complete the purchased project.
