Who We’re Looking For

Makers create products people love to wear, eat, drink, use, gift, or decorate with. We are seeking to curate businesses that are at their core are artisanal, maker, creative, or light manufacturing (i.e. things skillfully and lovingly made by hand or produced locally).

Accepted makers may have a small resell or service component to their business, but the majority of the products should be produced on-site at Makerhoods.
