Sea Creatures Potions Class: Guardians of the Ocean aka MERMAIDS!

Hosted by Accio Art, Witches! At the magical Read the Room Bookstore in Sutherlin! | 21+ | $40

Step beyond the shoreline and into a world of shimmering tides, ancient magic, and mythical sea creatures. In this immersive, hands-on potion crafting experience, you’ll create your very own ocean-inspired elixir—infused with beauty, mystery, and a touch of deep-sea enchantment.

Choose Your Ocean Guardian
Each guest will select a magical path and craft a potion inspired by one of the Four Guardians of the Ocean:
Mermaid — Keeper of the Lagoons
Siren — Voice of the Open Sea
Sea Dragon — Protector of the Tides
Kraken/Cthulhu — Master of the Abyss

Will your potion shimmer like sunlight over turquoise waters? Glow with hypnotic siren song? Pulse with the strength of a sea dragon? Or swirl with the dark power of the deep?

What You’ll Create
You’ll be guided step-by-step to design a stunning, interactive potion featuring:
Custom ocean-inspired colors
Shimmering powders and iridescent glitters
Seashells, pearls, and magical inclusions
Decorative toppers like charms, h**p wrapping, and wax seals
Your finished potion will be a one-of-a-kind keepsake—beautiful, mystical, and uniquely yours.

What’s Included
All potion-making supplies and materials
Step-by-step guided instruction
A curated selection of charms, decorations, and labels
A magical, immersive class experience

Refreshments & Extras
Light snacks and lemonade/tea will be provided
BYOB is welcome—bring your favorite drink to sip while you craft
Additional themed drinks and treats may be available for purchase at the venue

Whether you’re returning to the apothecary or joining us for the first time, this class is perfect for anyone who loves fantasy, creativity, and a little bit of magic.

Come craft your potion, choose your realm, and awaken the magic of the sea

Come grab a book, drink too much coffee, question humanity, and accidentally spend three hours in the bookstore. Kurt would’ve wanted it that way. Probably.

It may be from 1990 but it is still 💯 pertinent to today’s fuel prices. Yikes! This book is Oregon-centric and actually pretty interesting. Come take a peek.
