PARTNER COLLABORATION

Big news! I’m teaming up with another local creative (and fellow HutchConnect partner) — From the Ash — for my Lightsey Loops show at Metropolitan Coffee on Nov. 8th, 7–9PM.

Step into a night of sound and style — live-looped music meets handcrafted art. Ashleigh’s work blends the ancient with the modern, from custom jewelry to framed insects and original pieces that feel straight out of a dream. Each one is bold, unique, and beautifully “From the Ash.”

She’ll have a booth set up all evening, so grab a coffee, enjoy the tunes, and browse her art — maybe find the perfect piece for yourself or someone special.

All ages welcome. Bring the family, play a board game, and make it a creative night out!
Be sure to follow her page, and learn more about her work here https://www.hutchconnect.com/businessdirectory/art/from-the-ash
