✨ What exactly IS encaustic art? ✨

If you've admired encaustic artwork but weren't quite sure how it's made, here's your chance to find out—and try it yourself!

Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses heated beeswax mixed with pigment. Artists build up, fuse, carve into, and layer the wax—often incorporating paper, photographs, natural materials, or other elements—to create wonderfully textured, dimensional works of art.

And it's our next workshop at Made Local Marketplace! 🎨

Join local artist Katharine Cameron on Saturday, August 22 for a hands-on introduction to encaustic art. You'll experiment with this fascinating medium and create your own one-of-a-kind piece to take home.

No encaustic experience? Perfect! Workshops are all about trying something new, learning directly from our talented local artists, and having some fun along the way.

👉 Tap the workshop link in our profile learn more and reserve your spot!

And check out what else is coming up on our workshop calendar—we have lots more opportunities to get creative this fall.

We have something new to toast in Santa Rosa!

After a little patience and a lot of paperwork, our license has officially been approved and local wine and cider have arrived at Made Local Marketplace Santa Rosa!

We've been offering a selection of North Bay bottles at our Novato store since shortly after opening, and we're so excited to now bring this part of Made Local to Montgomery Village, too.

Just like everything else you'll find on our shelves, we're approaching wine and cider with a Made Local point of view. This isn't about having a huge wine department—it's about introducing you to wonderful small and independent producers from our own backyard and giving you another way to discover the incredible things being grown and made throughout the North Bay.

Our growing lineup includes producers such as:

🍎 Tilted Shed Ciderworks — small-batch cider celebrating Sonoma County apples and helping preserve our region's orchard heritage

🍷 Hobo Wine Company — artisan wines made right here in Santa Rosa with an emphasis on character and a sense of place—and a wonderful value, too

🍇 Clif Family Winery — organically farmed Napa Valley wines from the family behind Clif Bar that pair wonderfully with the Clif Family nuts, chocolates, jams, and honey spreads we already carry

🌿 McEvoy Ranch — small-lot wines from their beautiful Petaluma ranch. We love offering these in Novato as our Marin-made wine alongside all of their other wonderful products

🍷 Emme Wines — fresh, bright, naturally made wines from winemaker and grape grower Rosalind Reynolds, whose approach is rooted in organic farming, sustainability, and community

🍷 Maison des Plaisances — natural wines made in Sonoma by winemaker and farmer Coral Wang

🥂 Iron Horse Vineyards — family-owned Green Valley winery known for its estate-grown sparkling wines, bringing a little Sonoma County celebration to our shelves

🍷 Sonoma Portworks — a Petaluma producer specializing in handcrafted port-style and dessert wines, perfect for sipping or pairing with something sweet

And we're just getting started.

We're also especially excited about what this means for gifting. You can now add a locally made bottle of wine or cider to one of our curated gift boxes or build your own combination from around the store. Pair a bottle with local cheese accompaniments, chocolate, crackers, nuts, olive oil, ceramics, linens—or whatever catches your eye—and you've got a truly North Bay gift.

Stop by Santa Rosa to explore what's on the shelves now, and keep checking back as we introduce more of our favorite local producers.

Cheers to another way to shop local, gift local, and sip local! 🥂

🍷 Something new is pouring in Santa Rosa! 🍎🥂

We're excited to announce that local wine and cider have officially arrived at Made Local Marketplace Santa Rosa!

We've been offering a selection of North Bay wines and ciders in our Novato store since shortly after opening, and after patiently waiting for our Santa Rosa license approval, we're thrilled to finally bring them to Montgomery Village too.

As with everything at Made Local, our focus is LOCAL. We're excited to showcase wonderful small-production wines and ciders from producers throughout the North Bay—and introduce you to some new favorites along the way.

And we're especially excited about what this means for our gift selections! 🍷🎁 Our locally made gift boxes and build-your-own gifts can now include a bottle of North Bay wine or cider, making it even easier to put together a truly local gift for birthdays, celebrations, hostess gifts, thank-yous, holidays...or just because.

Stop by Santa Rosa and check out the new selection—and watch for more local bottles joining the lineup as we grow!

Cheers to another way to shop local, gift local, and sip local! 🥂

What a way to celebrate ONE YEAR in Novato!

Just days after celebrating our first birthday with so many of you, we received an incredible birthday surprise from the Pacific Sun:

🏆 BEST GIFT SHOP
🏆 BEST NEW BUSINESS

Made Local Marketplace was voted the winner in BOTH categories in the 2026 Best of Marin readers' poll!

And if that wasn't exciting enough, the Pacific Sun surprised us with a wonderful feature story about our Novato store and the community of local artists, makers, food producers, and small businesses behind it.

We couldn't imagine a better way to mark our first year in Marin.

These awards are truly a reflection of our entire Made Local community. They're for the incredible makers who fill our shelves with beautiful, creative, delicious, and unexpected things. They're for our team, who care so much about the stores and the people behind every product. And they're for all of you who choose to shop local.

Every time you walk through our doors, tell a friend about us, attend an event, discover a new maker, or choose a locally made gift, you're supporting real people and helping keep our local creative economy thriving.

That's what Made Local Marketplace has always been about.

Thank you for welcoming us to Novato. Thank you for voting for us. And thank you for giving us two pretty incredible reasons to celebrate as we begin year TWO!

❤️ The Made Local Marketplace Team
