Every year, antlered animals shed their old antlers and grow new ones in the summer. We collect them, and now we invite you to paint one on Sunday, March 8, 2026, from 11AM – 2PM. This event is a free-form style of painting. A variety of designs will be available for inspiration or go with your own unique style. All supplies, antlers to keep, and entrance fees for up to 4 guests per antler are included in the cost. Space is limited and this event always sells out!

Antler Cookies: 40 Antler Cookies are also available (to those who have purchased an antler) to paint during the event! Antlers are naturally shed from moose, elk, reindeer, caribou, and Sitka deer, and we use some of these antlers to slice into thin disks that we call antler “cookies.” Painted antler cookies make great gifts and keepsakes. Add-on antler cookies at checkout.
