Celebrating Our Local Makers: Highlights From the Holiday Showcase

This year’s Cereal City Crafters Collective Holiday Showcase was an incredible celebration of creativity, talent, and community spirit.

 

Local makers and artisans came together to share their work, their stories, and the passion behind their craft, and the response from readers has been overwhelming.

 

From handcrafted home décor and specialty candles, to baked goods, jewelry, art, wreaths, apparel, and one-of-a-kind gifts, the Showcase brought forward some of the very best creators in Battle Creek and the surrounding area.

 

Each maker poured their heart into what they do, and it showed in every photo, every feature article, and every message we received throughout the week.

 

We were proud to shine a spotlight on these incredible small businesses, many of whom operate out of home studios, tiny shops, market booths, or late-night craft tables.

 

Their dedication brings something special to our community — and supporting them means keeping that creativity alive.

 

If you missed the Holiday Showcase, don’t worry. You can still explore the full issue, learn more about each crafter, discover their stories, and connect with their shops or social pages.
