Jessie Daniels of WildNorth Creative has been creating handmade artisan chocolates for over 18 years, sharing the beauty, creativity, and joy that chocolate brings. There's something so special about being included in people's traditions, celebrations, and thoughtful gifts, and it means the world to be a small part of these moments. Using fair-trade chocolate and organic ingredients while making everything as fresh as possible, she makes sure quality, care, and thoughtfulness go into every piece. She's excited to return to the Annual Winter Market this year! Stop by to find something lovely to enjoy or share, and sample something along the way. She'd love to say hello. 

I am a writer, primarily working in the genres of memoir and creative nonfiction. I write about all sorts of things, but I tend to keep circling back to creativity, memory, and the life of faith after deconstruction. When writing is too much, I work with old books and ephemera, making paper flowers, journals, and other unique book-based art. Whether in writing or crafting, making something new from something broken, outdated, or obsolete is my jam. 

I started creating small watercolors while traveling, then continued to sketch and paint in my home community. Inspiration often comes from places or nature or people in my world. I will have an assortment of original watercolor ornaments, birch ornaments, greeting cards, holiday gift tags, stickers, bookmarks, and other prints available. Thank you for taking a few minutes to wander through my artwork! 

In an AI world, I practice an art form that is thousands of years old: relief printing! I work out designs in my sketchbook (preferably at Amore coffee with a latte in my other hand), use tracing paper and pencils to transfer the design to a linoleum block, carve the block, and then print with an old fashioned roller and baren. Block printing really forces the artist to simplify the design, and to consider how the design fits into the surface area. Each print is like figuring out a little puzzle. 

Our annual youth group winter retreat is happening again this coming January and students are putting forth an effort to raise funds for those wanting to attend. Students will bring their own mix of crafts and goodies to sell for the winter retreat fundraiser. In the past we have seen baked goods, stickers, bracelets, etc. 

Cullen is a senior in high school and his love for pottery continues to grow. He spends many hours creating and designing pieces of art using various mediums, but clay is his favorite. 

Greetings my name is Joy and I am a visual artist with an eye for color and emotional atmosphere in acrylic and watercolor paintings. I am a teacher at Cheers Pablo Inc and I have worked as a church artist and a live wedding artist. 

I'm Katie!  Therapist by day, arts-dabbler by night, and avid photographer during the in-betweens. My images tend to focus on the anthropomorphizing of nature, seeing my inner world represented in the tiny details that surround us every day, just waiting for us to see them.  Instead of being focused on capturing an objectively beautiful image, I'm often taking in an image that speaks on my behalf, when my thoughts and feelings aren't yet ready to be formed into words. 

I am a social worker by day and a creator by night. Working with my hands, choosing color combinations, shapes, and projects allows me to lose myself. I am able to mindfully shut out the noise and focus on my craft.
