End of Summer...
This summer has been jam packed with beautiful events, travels, and new opportunities to lean into the creative journey of TreeBed Design.
It is hard to believe that summer is almost over! This newsletter will recap some of the highlights of the last few months, and hint at some fun things to look forward to.
In June, Whitney Vangrin brought her unique offering, Night Tea Vol. 3 to the showroom. We transformed the space with low tables, teas and fermented food pairings, glass work by Whitney, and some music by me. We can't wait to host this unique event again this fall!
Sound Bath
We cleaned up and cleared out my upstairs living space in order to receive the healing vibes of Shanese and her reiki sound bath offering. It was a special evening and we are excited to do it again on September 18th (Get Tickets!)
Spectacular!
In July I hit the road to Iowa, to teach ceramics at a giant camp for high schoolers where I went to college! This was the most people (in very compact time) that I have worked in clay with. Luckily I had lots of help, and the kids were enthusiastic to experience something new! It was such a beautiful way to weave together my own story (where I was 20 years ago, and where I am now) with old friends, family, a strong spirit of community, and what I want to be doing in this life!
Love YAAH More + Goodworks Kids Clay Event
Kristin received a grant from the Solano County North Bay Arts Fund this past year, and set out to provide an opportunity for the community to play in clay! With the help of the amazing folks of Good Works, and a number of volunteers... the event was a huge success, and a lot of fun was had at the TBD Studio!
The Showroom Blooms
Last Fall the we fully converted the downtown live/work space in the TBD Showroom I had originally dreamt up, and as summer winds down we are beginning to harvest the possibilities of that dream!
I have loved seeing new locally made products compliment my wares, and people bringing in their creative energy to the space has made it feel alive in all the ways I had hoped. Having coffee in the mix has also help give a little buzz to the scene! Check out weekly offerings in the coffee gallery, and you might even fill your cup with something special Saturday mornings (we've been opening an hour earlier... 9am ;)
We continue to host our Open Clay Table, and check out the photos below of Kristin's new Monday Mug Workshop... we are planning even more fun workshops and offerings for the Fall!
TBD Showroom September Dates
We are open (most) Saturdays during the Vallejo Farmer's Market

Hope to see you soon... but not this Saturday
It has been so sweet having more people stop by the showroom Saturday mornings during the Farmers Market (including all the way from Utah)! We hope to keep building this momentum (and community), but we will be closed this Saturday (9/14) to be with family at a celebration of life event.
So come join us for Vallejo Art Walk on Friday night, and we'll be back to normal hours next Saturday!
I am keeping this newsletter mostly visual... thanks to the amazing photos from Pink Salt Photos and Réya Photography. Look for a Fall newsletter sooner than later with perhaps a bit more written reflection. Thank you again for reading!
With heaps of gratitude, - Micah/TreeBed Design
