Tommy Pancy's Jazz Jam comes to Speciation every Sunday starting June 14th from 5-8pm. Hosted by Grand Rapids saxophonist and MSU jazz alum Tommy Pancy, the weekly session kicks off with a house band set before opening the floor to a signup queue — all skill levels welcome. Rooted in jazz standards, it's a laid-back, inclusive night built around preserving a beloved art form.
Get ready for festival season by creating a one-of-a-kind piece you’ll wear all summer long! Join SOCCO on Tuesday, July 14th from 6:30–8:00 PM at Speciation Cellars for an evening of creativity, connection, and hands-on jewelry making.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn the art of wire wrapping as you design your own adjustable arm cuff. Choose from silver or gold metals and personalize your piece using a thoughtfully curated collection of vintage and upcycled beads, crystals, and charms, giving forgotten materials a beautiful new life.
Your finished arm cuff will be made with hypoallergenic materials and designed to be water safe and sweat safe, so it’s ready to wear through concerts, festivals, beach days, vacations, and everyday adventures. Every cuff is completely unique, reflecting your personal style while embracing SOCCO’s love for sustainable craftsmanship and timeless design.
No jewelry-making experience is necessary—I’ll guide you through every step, and all tools and materials are provided. Whether you’re planning a girls’ night, a creative date, or simply looking to try something new, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to create something meaningful by hand.
