Always Making

We are back with our latest episode of the #AlwaysMaking Podcast. We took a short break to delivery our latest maker project to world. We catch up in this episode talking about our summer market season and sharing some tips and tricks we learned along the way. We might be a little sleep deprived, but we didn't want to leave you too long without your latest fix of our maker podcast.

We are joined by local artist and maker Rebecca Woolston from  @rebeccamade . We dive in to her various crafts and the importance of local art communities. Kristi met Rebecca at a meet-up for local sewists and fiber artists, and became instant friends though their common interest in making. We wanted to share Rebecca's drive for why she does what she does, and maybe inspire others to search out their local art community or maybe even start their own!

We met another great maker, Katie, owner and creator of Wooly Mountains. Katie makes one of a kind wool mountain scapes that has an emphasis on up-cycling and keeping wool waste out of land fills. She has a creative history with textiles but recently found her passion with these wool sculptures because of her first child. Enjoy our latest guest on the Always Making podcast as we dive into her maker journey and what drives it.

SqueePrints joins us on this week's episode of "Always Making," sharing their 3D printing journey. Squee Prints is a local horror-themed print farm that focuses on horror movie inspired prints, something surprisingly new and unique to the local art community. They started on Etsy this past year and soon found themselves inspired to try selling at local markets. Their print beds haven't been able to take a break since!

On this week's episode of Always Making we are joined by Ben from Flaming Homer's, a local artisan hot sauce maker. Born and raised in the USA, he moved abroad in his early 20's and discovered his passion for creating hot sauce on the rooftops of Israel. He has since moved back to the states and is focused on creating flavor-forward sauces that utilize the highest quality ingredients. Ben left a lasting impression on us when we first met him at a local art market and we hope you enjoy hearing his stories, too!

Alejandra from Graveyard Witch Accessories joins us this week on the podcast to discuss her passion of silver smithing and how she juggles school, work, running her own business and finding time to live her life. Alejandra has been making horror, goth and alternative themed jewelry since 2018 and has created a name for herself in the local community. Her jewelry pieces are a sight to see, and her passion to create really comes through in every piece she puts her hands on.

Our guest this week is Sara, creator and owner of Charmed Mountain. Sara talks about building her local soap business from scratch with a business mindset first and as an artist second. Sara has been a creator her entire life and enjoys the pursuit of learning traditional craft with a modern twist. We enjoy the perspective she shares about running her soap business and appreciate her sharing tips that could help someone thinking about starting their own creative business.
