We’ll be opening the doors to Seaweed Studio K+M at our Cabin in Hardway on Thursday to Saturday, giving you the chance to see where we create our sculptures from driftwood, reclaimed metal and all sorts of rescued treasures. ♻️🎨
And if all that creativity makes you hungry, our neighbouring café, The Hardway Coffee Co, will be open Thursday to Saturday during the Trail, so you can enjoy a coffee and cake while you’re here. ☕🍰
