Gather Studio and Markeplace | Granite Bay, CA

I first learned of Gather Studio and Marketplace when they invited me to attend their one-year anniversary celebration, it is an art studio that offers creative DIY classes.  My sister-in-law joined me and we had an amazing time on Small Business Saturday.  We made a hanging succulent and a gratitude jar.  All of the supplies were ready to go, and owner Meleya instructed us on how to create our craft project.  When I told my husband about this place he put it perfectly, "so it's like a Build a Bear Workshop for adults." Exactly!

I love the workshop space and I love that is also doubles as a shop for local vendors.  You will find a variety of items all locally hand crafted.  This is a great place to find unique gifts and high quality items.  They have home decor items, bath bombs, lotions and more.  They have handmade jewelry, stunning leather bags, scarfs, apparel and so much more.   They offer personalized service and unique items you won't find elsewhere.  I absolutely adore these handmade pots for plants.  

Meleya shared with us that she was a stay at home mom, jewelry maker herself and wanted to pursue something more.  She opened Gather Studio and Marketplace as a creative outlet to share her passion and also provides space for other local creatives.  In just the short year they have been open they have brought in a substantial amount of revenue for local creatives.  I love supporting our local businesses.  As a local creative I know how important and vital it is to have local support.  When you shop local not only do you help your local economy, you connect with the people who live, work and worship in your community.  When you shop local you support the American Dream and have a positive ripple effect right where you live.

After seeing this great place I knew I wanted to come back soon.  This past week a group of us ladies celebrated my mother-in-laws birthday here.  It is the perfect place to gather with friends and have fun creating things together.  We chose the Jewelry Stamping Class, and it was a great learning experience.  We each were able to choose two pendants and personalize them.  Some of us chose to adventure out and spell out a long name, others went with numbers for birth date pendants, others used symbols, I love the way my sister-in-law's bird pendant turned out.  

All the ladies that joined us expressed what a great time they had and how fun it was to celebrate a birthday with a hands on experience.  We are looking forward to attending another class soon.  

Gather Studio and Marketplace is located at 8870 Auburn Folsom Boulevard, Suite B in Granite Bay, near Eureka Road and Douglas Blvd.  You can find more info on their website https://gatherstudioandmarket.com/.

You can find a variety of their classes and workshops on their website as well as reserve your own private party.  This is a great place to host a birthday party, team building event, girls night out and even a kid party.   Check out their affordable kid party options here. Maybe one of your New Years Goals is self-care or to gather with your loved ones more often, time spent together is the best gift.  You can join their annual member club, where you can attend a workshop once a month.  
When you book a private party you can bring in your own food and drinks or Meleya can connect you with great local bakers and cooks who would be happy to cater your party.  


We wish you a very Happy New Year and say cheers to more crafting and fun experiences in 2020. Thank you for reading if you’ve enjoyed the content you’ve read above please share with your friends. www.BlogAboutItAll.com.
