The Long Table is a monthly workshop series at The Stranger Lodge. Each one is led by a different local artist or maker, and you don’t need any experience to join, just some curiosity and a willingness to get your hands busy.
We started it because some of the best nights happen when strangers sit down together and make something. It’s also our way of supporting the artists and makers who keep Sisters interesting.

Upcoming Workshops
Join Emma Thompson, Ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Gigi’s, for an evening of making festive holiday drinks with real intention behind them. You’ll work with Ayurvedic formulas, herbal syrups, playful flavors, and artful garnishes, and you’ll leave with practical ways to bring Ayurveda, an ancient medicine practice, into your own kitchen. These are much more than mocktails.
This one is made for sharing. If you have family or friends in town for the holidays, it’s an easy, low-key way to spend an evening together before the big day. The atmosphere is relaxed, no experience is necessary, and first-timers are always welcome at the table.
Gigi’s is grandmother wisdom delivered with a bit of old-fashioned sass. Emma’s elixirs are built from herbs, spices, and apothecary remedies, and while Gigi’s started as a brick-and-mortar bar, it now pops up exclusively for events and celebrations. We’re thrilled to have it pop up at The Stranger Lodge for the night.
Wednesday, November 25th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at The Stranger Lodge, 511 W Cascade Ave, Sisters, OR 97759. $50 includes two drinks plus all infusions and syrups. Limited to 14 guests. Note: this session meets on a Wednesday instead of our usual fourth Thursday, which falls on Thanksgiving this year.
Join Anna of The Flower Preservation Co. for a hands-on holiday wreath workshop at The Stranger Lodge. Anna provides everything you need, including a premade woven willow base, flowers, evergreen foliage, and natural elements that she harvested and preserved herself here in Central Oregon. She’ll also bring ribbons and bows for a little extra sparkle, and you’re welcome to bring any personal items you’d like to add to your design.
Anna will help you bring your vision to life, whether you come in with a plan or figure it out as you go. Her goal is for everyone to slow down, get creative, and enjoy an afternoon with the community in the cozy clubhouse at The Stranger. No experience necessary.
Saturday, December 12th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at The Stranger Lodge, 511 W Cascade Ave, Sisters, OR 97759. $75 includes all materials. Limited to 8 guests.
