Makers Market

History

Growing up in the Deep South, Makers Market founder Suzy Ekman spent precious time alongside her father in his workshop learning, making, and listening to stories. They traveled regularly through the countryside discovering potters, blacksmiths, textile weavers, and furniture makers. Watching these artisans create their products and chatting with them about their lives and how they learned their craft instilled a deep appreciation for those who design and make beautiful product with their hands. These experiences sparked the current feel of Makers Market - like you are one on one with a master craftsman in their workshop, hearing their tales as they create.
