Hi everyone! A few weeks ago we teased having som Hi everyone! A few weeks ago we teased having some really fun upcoming events. We were really excited. Think resin pouring, cocktails, printmaking, etc. Unfortunately, as is the nature of making, most of our events were set to be hands on and in person. All the while we've watched the number of cases of COVID-19 in Wyoming continue to climb. So, as a result, we decided to wait on these events until we are all in a safer place. Even though we're taking a break from in person activities, we know there's still makers out there making so you can expect some highlights in the next few weeks. We're hopeful that we can find some virtual opportunities, but in the meantime, please take care of yourself and your community. 😷😷😷

Hi everyone!

A few weeks ago we teased having some really fun upcoming events. We were really excited.

Think resin pouring, cocktails, printmaking, etc.

Unfortunately, as is the nature of making, most of our events were set to be hands on and in person. All the while we've watched the number of cases of COVID-19 in Wyoming continue to climb.

So, as a result, we decided to wait on these events until we are all in a safer place.

Ticket holders for our Antelope Deconstructed even Ticket holders for our Antelope Deconstructed event are getting an added perk. Every person who buys a ticket to Antelope Deconstructed also will receive a special invite to an additional pop up event by @losconejoswy @micro_pop_up on Sunday. Chef Seth and Chef Juan are cooking up a fall harvest inspired meal using a full antelope that was generously donated to this event by @steveknoxart as part of a pilot project they are hoping to grow in the coming months. The antelope will be cooked over an open fire (perfect for the impending weather) and Sunday guests will have the chance to stop by to watch the process AND have a plate when it is done. If you were waiting for a sign to get your tickets... This might just be it. #thatswy #visitcheyenne #wyominggormet #wyomingasfolk

As we celebrated our one year anniversary we asked As we celebrated our one year anniversary we asked you guys which of our events was your favorite. By far the most common response was Buffalo Deconstructed! This year we’re revisiting this topic and expanding it! We want to keep it in the Wyoming theme so we’ll be deconstructing and preparing 6-7 Antelopes at the same time! We will also be covering more of the process than we did last time, so we’re expanding to cover skinning, deboning, butchering, and even cooking. Roughly we’ll be spending our time: 1hr skinning 1hr cleaning 1hr cutting, cooking, taxidermy 1hr taxidermy and cooking Local artist and taxidermist Steve Knox will host us again at his spacious studio, we’ll also be joined by Chef Juan Coronado and Chef Seth Stefanik. Because of the limited space, supply costs, and thoughtfulness towards social distancing this will be a limited ticketed event. We’ll be offering 20 hands-on spots, you’ll be able to participate or watch as you see fit. Because we’ll have multiple animals to break down this will be less of a presentation and more of a swarm learning / participation event. We’re asking this to be an adult-only event since this is a private residence with, you know, knives and stuff. Steve is a local art teacher who is a talented painter and taxidermist, you can check out his work at Fine Art by Steve Knox (https://www.facebook.com/wyofineart). He and his friends have graciously offered to both host us and source the Antelope the morning of our event. Chef Juan and Chef Seth are the founders of Micro Popup and Los Conejos.
