Wolfe Studio 80th Anniversary Celebration at The MAX

Celebrate the art, history, and creative legacy of Wolfe Studio with an 80th Anniversary Experience at The MAX on Saturday, August 22, featuring Bebe Wolfe and special guests.

Founded in Jackson, Mississippi, by visual arts pioneers Karl and Mildred Nungester Wolfe, the studio is known for its ceramic birds, creatures, and nativity sets—all hand-painted, with each figure unique. Now supplying a third generation of collectors under the leadership of the Wolfes’ daughter, Bebe, and her husband, David Weidemann, Wolfe Studio has grown from a two-person operation into a collective of roughly a dozen artists.

The 80th Anniversary Experience at The MAX boasts a full day of activities, including meditation, coffee and art, engaging conversations, and a special Wolfe Bird Show & Tell for collectors.

9 am: Morning Meditation with Bebe & Beth Herzig, Wolfe Community Meditation Organizer (Upstairs terrace)

11 am-2 pm: Come & Go Printmaking with Wendy Eddleman-Cooper, multidisciplinary artist (3D Studio)
