Art and craftsmanship cross back and forth a hundred times over when heritage skills are involved! Malcome and Amy of Hathorne Handcraft work together to create beautiful pieces using Fractur Calligraphy and woodworking alike. All their pieces are one of a kind beautiful!

I think one of the best parts of Maker's Market is seeing all the different crafts come together. This - now annual tradition - photo is a representation of all the craftsmanship that can be found at Heritage Maker's Market. Keep on creating my friends!

The Red List is just as important here in the United States and Wisconsin as it is in the UK. We hope Maker's Market supports those who practice endangered crafts and inspires others to begin a crafting journey!
