Makers can help makers by shopping with each other

Makers can help makers by shopping with each other. Our mobile app is your tool for finding over 600 local creative businesses where you can buy cool handcrafted items. The hard-earned money you spend with them goes straight back into Northeast Ohio’s economy and that’s good for everyone. Be a gem, and consider the jewelry collections of @atlasandaether as a great resource for special gifts. It’s true what they say about human beings on the other side of every maker’s website — someone really does a little happy dance with every online order that comes in. #makertown
