Dear Community,

You are warmly invited to “In the Voice of Trees: A Clay Bead-Making Workshop,” a free and intentional gathering centering Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, led by celebrated artist Daniel Minter and co-facilitated by Verónica Pérez of Tender Table

This is a space to slow down, reflect, and connect — with our hands, with each other, and with the quiet stories of trees. Together, we’ll create clay beads while guided by conversation, memory, and ancestral wisdom.

May 17, 10:00am - 12:30 PM

This event is for BIPOC community members only.

Space is limited — reserve your spot today. 

No ceramics experience needed – just come as you are.

The final sculpture will be unveiled at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in July 2025, as part of “Deconstructing the Boundaries,” a three-year partnership between Indigo Arts Alliance and the Gardens. The initiative centers the voices, histories, and futures of the global majority, fostering collective healing and interconnection.

What to Expect:

• A warm, supportive space to create and reflect

• Clay bead-making with guidance from Daniel Minter & Verónica Perez

• Stories, connection, and creative expression

• A chance to contribute to a landmark public artwork honoring community and legacy

• Wear comfy clothes that can get a little dusty

This is more than a workshop — it’s a call to presence, unity, and possibility.
