People and their work
Meet the hands behind the work.
Meet the care, ideas and people behind a useful object. El Mercado is being developed for makers, artists and personal gifts; the first participating-maker list will follow confirmed dates and agreements.
A name here means something
A maker profile will mean that participation is agreed for the dates shown and the maker has chosen to be listed. Where supplied, the profile will link to the maker’s own work.
Interested in taking part?
Tell Joseph what you make or offer, when you might be available and what your setup needs. Your introduction helps shape a workable first market. Dates, places and terms will be agreed before any commitment or payment.
Buying from a maker
Each confirmed listing will identify the participating business or maker. Purchase, collection and return terms belong to the actual seller and will be made clear before a sale. A market purchase is not presented as a charitable contribution.
What thoughtful participation looks like
Tell us what you made, restored or selected, and credit everyone who contributed. Share what you know about its source, condition and care. We value respectful exchange and useful learning. You can ask for help with the interest process; an expensive booth or a public personal story is not required.
These proposed welcome principles use the existing maker-interest process. Participation, dates and terms will be confirmed separately.
