Fellow makers, crafters, artisans - from jewellery to art and homeware to the weird, wacky and wonderful: I’m taking expressions of interest to a potential new venture, The Makers Arms!
TLDR: I’m a Maker. I wanna open a store. Want to have your stuff in it? Register at link in bio ✌️
I’m an artist & maker. I’m also a retail professional from an interiors, buying & merchandising background. So, think cool store with artisan vibes, one of a kind gifts and completely unique finds that will make your mates jealous - a curated collection of handmade UK goods by real people. This is quality, not plastic, no 3D printed lumps meh, absolutely no AI - just awesome uncommon goods. And some of them could be yours!
You can choose to hire or stock your stuff for free, with different commission models, to help you control your spend and your income based on your own preference.
The store will be (hopefully!) located in the lively historic market town of Witney in Oxfordshire, right on the edge on the Cotswolds. With a great local mix of young professionals and families and a string of High Street refurbishment completing this year, Witney has seen plenty of new indie business in recent years and locals love to shop and support small business so this little gem of a store at the top of the high street feels like a real winner to us! ❤️🔥
I’m doing this because there’s not enough places supporting small makers and individuals. Not everyone can manage markets and fairs, or run a website,. Not all makers want to pay for their space in a store. Not all want to give up half their sale. I get it, I’m a maker! So this one’s for all of us!
So if you’re interested in finding out more, fill in the Google Doc via the bio link 🔗 and we’ll be in touch when there’s an update! If we can make it work, we hope to launch by autumn - just in time for Christmas! 🙌
Okay then - you interested? 😁
