PLUS, Art + Yoga Workshops on Saturday, November 22!
Again this year, we will have fun & festive pop-up workshops on Saturday, November 22, at the Artist Bazaar.
Gathering Light: Body-Centered Yoga and Holiday Season Support
Join Instructor Bobbi Jo Hamilton for a yoga workshop from 10 AM – 12 PM. This 2-hour workshop is designed to help participants slow down, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate warmth as we transition from autumn to winter. The session begins with a guided group ritual where everyone creates a small nature-inspired winter bundle using simple, natural materials like pine sprigs, dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, etc. to symbolize what they want to carry with them into the colder months.
Afterward, we’ll move into a gentle, mat-based yoga practice focused on grounding, body awareness, and nervous system support. Movements will be slow, steady, and accessible for all levels. The practice will close with restorative poses and guided relaxation, allowing participants to leave feeling calm, centered, and nourished.
Please Note: The Upstairs Studio is only accessible by stairs.

Gel-Plate Printing Ornaments
Join Artistic Director Megan Shirley-Ross for a fun and creative workshop from 1 PM – 3 PM exploring gel-plate printing and festive ornament design! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll experiment with shaped gel plates to create unique patterns and textures on paper. Once your prints are complete, you’ll cut, fold, and assemble them into beautiful 3D ornaments, perfect for decorating your home or giving as handmade gifts. Add your own flair with beads, tassels, and other embellishments to make each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
Click below to sign up in advance, call 218-385-3339, or just show up, and enjoy a Saturday of shopping, yoga, and making art!
