Big News for Local Makers & Craft Lovers: The Cereal City Crafters Collective is Here!

Last year, we tested the waters with a small Crafters Corner section in our newsletter, and the response was overwhelming.

Makers loved the spotlight, and readers loved discovering unique, handcrafted treasures right here in our community.

That excitement has inspired us to take the next big step—introducing the Cereal City Crafters Collective! 

This season, we’re expanding into an entire Facebook Page, Group, and dedicated Newsletter just for crafters and the people who love what they create. Whether you’re stitching, baking, carving, painting, or shopping, this is your new home to connect, share, and celebrate all things handmade.

Why join? Because we’re building more than a platform—we’re building a movement. The Cereal City Crafters Collective will:

• Spotlight local crafters and their stories

• Share upcoming shows, markets, and fairs so you never miss an event

• Offer tips and tools to help small craft businesses get seen and grow

• Connect buyers directly with makers who pour heart and soul into every piece

For crafters, it’s a chance to get your work in front of people actively looking for one-of-a-kind creations. For buyers, it’s a front-row seat to discover handmade items you can’t find anywhere else—perfect for gift-giving or treating yourself.

We’re just getting started, and the holiday season is right around the corner. That means there’s never been a better time to join the Collective, whether you’re making or shopping.

👉 Like our Page. Join our Group. Subscribe to our Newsletter. Be part of the movement that’s putting local makers center stage in Cereal City and beyond.

Let’s make this crafting season the biggest and brightest yet! ✨
