Take a look at everything happening around town this week!
CHECK OUT OUR NEW SECTION HIGHLIGHTING OUR FAVORITE SPOTS AROUND TOWN
Located in the heart of Montclair’s Walnut Street neighborhood, WOVEN Studio + Kitchen brings together a professional kitchen and a sun-filled creative studio side by side. We’re three partners brought together by craft, cooking, and a belief in the power of connection. The space is anchored by a seventeen-foot communal farmhouse table designed for art workshops, collaborative cooking evenings, private events, and curated experiences.
At its heart, WOVEN is our invitation to step away from the noise, work with your hands, and gather around a table that instantly feels like home. We believe in the power of bringing art, food, and community together under one roof, creating a space where people can gather, learn, create, connect, and celebrate.
