Our Maker Market is chock full of artists from our community who make everything from paintings to leather to unique electronics. This year, our makers are not reselling anything – it all comes from them.
This is the fifth post in our series – check out the previous posts 1, 2, 3, and 4 to see the other great artists attending.
