Experience the Autumn Marvels at Galleria Edina's Collective Gatherings
This fall, Galleria Edina is hosting a series of unique communal workshops called 'Gathering Sessions.' The event, happening on various Sundays throughout the season, aims to bring people together through creativity and celebrate the beauty of autumn.
On Sunday, October 5, Rachel Hardacre of On the Acre will lead a workshop called 'Herb-Infused Vinegar Crafting.' During this session, participants will learn to create their own herb-infused vinegar using a variety of fall-forward herbs like thyme, fresh bay, garlic chive blossoms, rosemary, sage, and more. All supplies are included in the price of the workshop, which is set at $25 per session. The creation can be used in salad dressings, roasted vegetables, and more, making it a versatile and practical craft.
For those with a passion for art, Sara Woster of The Painting School is leading a workshop called 'Dutch-Style Still Life Painting' on Sunday, October 12. This workshop is inspired by the Dutch Golden Age and masters like Frans Hals and Vermeer. The session uses an organic palette of dried foliage, grasses, strawflowers, and other seasonal elements. Materials are provided, and participants just need to bring their curiosity and love for creative expression. The workshop is welcoming to all experience levels.
In addition to these workshops, there are sessions for wreath making. Alison Hoekstra of Taste Poetic is leading a session called 'Wabi-Sabi Fall Wreaths' on Sunday, September 28. This session focuses on the wabi-sabi art of wreath making, embracing nature's imperfection and transience. There are three sessions of 'Wabi-Sabi Fall Wreaths' at 1, 2, and 3 p.m.
The 'Herb-Infused Vinegar Crafting' workshop has sessions at 1, 1:45, 2:30, and 3:15 p.m. Space is limited for the sessions, so it's recommended to book early.
The workshop series 'Gathering Sessions' at Galleria Edina also includes upcoming workshops such as 'Weave and Dye' and 'Creative Textile Techniques,' led by textile artist Debora Stewart.
By participating in these workshops, guests can gather, connect, and create in a welcoming space. The event honors the shift of the season and the gentle letting go it brings, making it the perfect autumn activity. Don't miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in creativity and celebrate the beauty of the season.
