Supporting Makers

Helping small-batch makers reach people online and through our spaces

Our physical spaces and online channels can help small-batch work reach people who may not encounter it through social media or occasional craft fairs.

How we support makers

#
Retail partnerships
Stock products from makers whose work fits our spaces and communities.
Consignment
Offer a lower-risk way for small-batch creators to test local demand.
Community showcases
Give people a place to encounter and handle work made nearby.
Prototype testing
Host early releases and gather feedback through use in our spaces.

Why this matters

#

Making a good product and finding people who need it are different jobs. Shared retail space, consignment, and online distribution can reduce that burden while giving neighbors a direct way to discover the work.
