Makers Who Sell: Show & Tell (Real Stories from Local Makers)

Introductory - No experience required

Come meet local makers who turn ideas into things people actually buy. Hear how they got started, where they sell, and what actually works.

This Small Business Week event at MakeHaven will feature 3 member makers sharing what they make, how they sell it, and what they’ve learned along the way. After the featured talks, we’ll open it up for brief, optional sharing from attendees.

If you make and sell products, art, objects, kits, apparel, or other creative work, bring something to show. If you’re curious about starting or testing a small maker business, come listen, ask questions, and connect.
