At the heart of downtown Salina, Kansas, the Earring Bar: Design Your Own Statement Pair with artist Chelsea Johnson turns a two-hour evening into a hands-on celebration of personal style. Hosted at Salina Selfie Station (Santa Fe entrance only), this workshop invites anyone 13 and older to mix, match, and assemble one-of-a-kind earrings using curated components created by Chelsea Johnson of Curative Design Handmade Jewelry and Art. The studio’s compact space hums with conversation as guests slide colorful disks, geometric links, and textured drops onto stainless-steel, hypoallergenic findings that resist tarnish and wear. The session opens with a quick orientation: an overview of available components and a few compositional pointers that demystify balance, weight, and contrast. No prior experience or tools are required—arrive with an idea, an eye, and perhaps a favorite outfit in mind. The first hour is devoted to design and assembly; most participants complete at least one pair and often a second or third for a small additional fee. The second hour is reserved for styling and photography at the selfie station, where the lighting and backdrop are arranged to flatter earrings of every scale. Staff guide guests through simple posing tips so shots translate well to social media and memory albums. What makes this experience stand out in Salina’s local scene is its blend of accessible craft and boutique quality. Chelsea’s components carry a handmade sensibility—unique shapes, intentional colorways, and tactile finishes—yet the finished pieces feel durable and everyday-ready. For visitors, it’s a way to leave town with a wearable souvenir that was literally made during your visit, rather than bought off a shelf. Practical details keep the evening smooth: parking in downtown Salina is limited, so arrive early to explore local shops; guests under 16 should bring an accompanying adult; small parts mean the workshop isn’t suitable for very young children. The studio is accessible; guests with specific mobility needs are encouraged to reach out ahead of time. This hands-on format also highlights Salina’s maker community, giving visitors a close-up look at an artist’s materials, workflow, and color choices. It’s an excellent option for friends seeking a lively night out, families with teens, or road-trippers looking for a creative, low-effort maker experience between hikes, shows, or road-trip stops. In two hours you’ll walk away with personalized jewelry, a mini-portrait set, and a fresh sense of how small design choices can shape daily style. The check-in note is specific: Santa Fe entrance only to Salina Selfie Station, and one ticket admits one participant to craft and take home a single pair of earrings, with extras available by request. Bring reading glasses if you need them and a small container for stray findings and parts too.
