Merchants and Makers

07/28/2024

August 10th from 9 am - 4 pm we are back on the waterfront in The City of Grand Haven! Come downtown Grand Haven and shop with 100+ local makers along the beautiful riverfront!

Joining us - Huisman Woodcraft!

"I started woodturning when an old family friend sold me their antique wood lathe on a whim. I fell in love with woodturning and worked hard at perfecting my craft. I mostly make bowls and small kitchen utensils with turned handles. Every piece that I bring is unique because every piece of wood is unique. No two pieces are the same even if they are similar. I try to highlight the intricacies of the grain in wood."

Food Trucks: Boujee Bowls, The Corner Twist, Voyage Bowls, Papa's Tacos N More, Olly's Donuts, and Around Baking Company.

Music with Ford Turrell/Missing Rigby and Brett Dame!

This is a free community event! We can't wait to see you! SHOP LOCAL!

Joining us - Stitches + Sass!

"Sharon Wells is the maker & owner of Stitches + Sass. She makes fun and sassy accessories for pets! Starting as a quilter, Sharon made gifts for expectant moms. That developed into a business in 2016 where she created sewn items for babies. She is an animal lover of all types, so a pet line was added in 2017 that took over the business! She makes reversible & adjustable bandanas, bow ties, bedding, toys, and catnip kicker toys. Stitches + Sass also offers grooming products, such as organic paw wax and a dog shampoo bar. Brand-new products are also on the way! Stitches + Sass believes things should be 100% fun, but also functional. Most of their items have more than one feature to make them multi-use. All bandanas are reversible and adjustable, and the cat kickers are made of recycled filler. "

Joining us for the first time - Jewel of the Nail!

"I took a nail polish-making class in 2023 and fell madly in love. It’s like a meditation for me. It also helped me with my grief when I lost my mom Jewell, who the business is named after. Each bottle is handmade in Michigan with cool names and themes."

Merchants and Makers is possible because of this amazing team of women. Throughout the years, everyone has held different roles and spent more or less time depending on what is going on in their life. But one thing I know is that they are always there to support local makers and these amazing events that bring the community together and I could NOT do this without them.

So much love to Emily Klingensmith - Staff Coordinator, Christina Hutton - Assistant Market Director, Chandi Pape - Event Production Manager,and Meghan French - Creative Director ❤️

It’s taken me over a year, but I’ve finally settled on circle coasters. The square coaster molds get warped really easily which makes the coaster bow. Coasters are $10 or 2 for $15. Photo credit: Event: Merchants and Makers
