Summer is settling in… and we’d love to create with you 🤍

Join us for Collage & Conversation - our monthly open-studio gathering at Willow Run Market.

🗓 Thursday, June 4
🕕 6:00 - 8:30 pm
💲 $12 per session

✨ No registration required -
just show up.

Bring your own base—journal, canvas, wood, paper… whatever you’re inspired to work on.

And if you don’t have something, substrates are available here at the shop.

Our studio materials will be open for use - paints, pens, markers, papers, ephemera, textures, stencils, and more.

This isn’t a class.
There’s no instruction, no pressure, and nothing you need to “get right.”

Just a few creative hours to make, unwind, and spend time around other creative people.

Come if you feel like it.

Stay as long as you want.

🎨 From painter’s tape to masterpiece… 🎨

Saturday’s 24”x24” Barn Quilt Class featured the classic Carpenter’s Wheel pattern - and these makers absolutely knocked it out of the park!

One of our favorite parts of barn quilt workshops is watching confidence grow right alongside the design. Every line, every color choice, every finished piece is uniquely theirs.

Thank you for spending your Saturday creating with us at Willow Run Market 🩵

COLOUR OF THE WEEK

RAW SILK

A delicate white inspired by the natural luxury of raw silk. This classic warm white adds dimension to any colour scheme.

Pair with Cathedral Taupe for a traditional look.
Pair with Sterling for a modern feel.

TSP Alternative 250ml

Usually, the only prep required before painting furniture is a good cleaning of the surface using our TSP Alternative. This safe and easy-to-use no-rinse formula will ensure your piece is squeaky clean so you can Paint it beautiful for long-lasting results.

Fusion™ TSP Alternative is a water-based degreaser used to thoroughly clean a surface prior to applying paint. Highly efficient, it removes oil, grease, fingerprints, stains, and other contaminants which will improve the adhesion and the look of your finished painted surface.

Fusion™ TSP Alternative is safe to use on all surfaces and contains no phosphates. It comes in a highly concentrated solution, so a little goes a long way.

Safe to use on all surfaces (wood, paint, gypsum, melamine, plastics, metals, and glass).

✨ Turns out creativity is more than a hobby - it may be one of the best antidotes to burnout.

This WSJ article highlights a growing trend toward creative retreats and hands-on experiences that help people unplug, reconnect and recharge.

At Willow Run Market, we see it every week.
Paint, collage, create, laugh, sip, learn… and leave feeling lighter than when you walked in. 💛

You don’t have to travel across the world for a creative reset - sometimes it’s waiting right here in Lakewood.

A growing number of overworked travelers are seeking rejuvenation in retreats and tours that focus on connection and creativity: blockprinting in Finland or India, sewing in England, embroidery in Italy.

Sometimes called slowcations, these trips sell themselves as the opposite of the soul-sucking “follow-the-flag” tours.

The trips are particularly appealing to solo women travelers, a long overlooked, but rapidly growing, segment of the travel market.

“You can travel and be nourished instead of tired at the end.” said Vida Forrest y Salazar, co-owner of tour company Ace Camps, which offers two dozen craft-focused trips globally.
