Small Craft Winter Market
You asked. We listened. The Winter Market is back, and we're giving you a head start on the holiday hustle! ❄️
After all the love for last year's market (and a few requests to get that holiday shopping started earlier), we're bringing our Winter Market back to the Flybridge! We've rounded up a curated crew of local artists and makers with everything from handmade jewelry and home goods to specialty foods and unique finds you won't see on every store shelf.
We'll have seasonal cocktail specials flowing, plenty of good company, and a whole lot of local talent under one roof. It's holiday shopping the Small Craft way—relaxed, festive, and best enjoyed with something delicious in hand.
No tickets, no reservations, no fuss. Just come on up, grab a drink, support our local makers, and cross a few names off that holiday shopping list. See ya on the Flybridge!
Featured Vendor Profiles:
Retreat Design
I am a folk artist who turns vintage linens, time worn textiles, and forgotten materials into charming primitive goods with a sprinkle of storybook whimsy. I am locally known for my lively rug hooking, where loops of wool become playful patterns, cozy creatures, and nostalgic scenes. With a love for all things weathered and wonderfully imperfect, I transform forgotten fabrics into fresh treasures - handmade pieces that feel warm, familiar, and just a little bit magical.
Pamations Art
Pamations Art was introduced to the world in 1995 and has bloomed into multi-media art.
At this show, they will be featuring acrylic pour paintings, acrylic northern lights designs, metal art paintings, along with some alcohol ink designs on canvas, driftwood, wooden slabs, and metal.
Mineral Spirit Jewelry
All of my work is unique and handmade by me with intention and love. My goal is to provide high-quality affordable future heirlooms with a streak of sass and a lot of heart. I use recycled materials in my metalwork and began seeking eco-friendly materials and processes when I became serious about jewelry making 20+ years ago. All of the precious and semi-precious metal I use comes from existing sources, is never newly mined, and is "green" certified. I make transformational custom jewelry which allows my clients to express themselves by wearing their words, truths, and possibilities made tangible. To date, I've sent more than 7,500 unique Memorial, Bridal, and Everyday pieces all over the world. As I continue to be devoted to my path as a stone and metal worker, I feel fortunate to do this work that feels good and benefits my family & community and to contribute to the world in the best way I can. I am a member in good standing of Michigan Silversmith Guild, MJSA, Metalsmith Society, and MSA.
Mineral Spirit Jewelry is a one-woman company. All the collections are built by hand in my home studio in Michigan. All pieces are made with love and attention to detail from precious metals and semi precious stones. All the metal used is certified recycled/reclaimed 12k gold, sterling and fine silver, copper, and brass. Custom sizing, pieces, and workshops available upon request.
