Makers Together

Makers Together We help artisans and makers learn the business side of creativity. Under our umbrella are Makers Together and Makers Together Artisan Fair.

Makers Together is a weekly video meeting covering topics such as social media presence, website planning, new trends in reaching customers and promotion planning for coming selling seasons. We also cover concerns members bring to each meeting and all members talk about the goals they set the week before and their goal for the coming week. Makers Together Artisan Fair is a virtual art show held as

a Facebook Group to allow makers to showcase their products and educate patrons on their processes while attendees can browse, comment and shop. Make new connections, and find that special something for your home, friend or family.

A limited palette makes it easier for customers to recognize your business, but it can be so hard to narrow down the choices!

If you suffer from analysis paralysis when looking at colors to represent your business, try this:

Think of brand colors like characters in a simple TV plot. There are the 1-2 leading colors you’ll use the most and be your most recognizable to your audience as you grow, and then up to 3 colors to act as the supporting cast to bring a new topic to light, add a little comedy, or highlight a key value your work/business represent.

Meet Joann Mariahazy — printmaker, watercolor artist, owner of ART by Joann Mariahazy, plus co-founder and member of Makers Together.

“My artwork is symbolic. I think of jars and vessels as our human bodies, lines as balance, plants as growth, water as life, light as things to look forward to and shadows as things and actions we have done which are behind us.

I paint, draw, and I am a printmaker. I create individual coloring pages and greeting cards that can be colored!”

We really do get it: some weeks feel like the universe aligned, and others feel like an action movie with lots of explosions and very little plot. Both versions of you deserve a high-five.

If you’re feeling the "small win" energy these last couple weeks:

Restock your favorite pens or paints?

Drop off a single package at the post office?

Organize your digital files (even just one folder)?

Show up for yourself today?

If this is one of those amazingly productive spots in the year, shout it out so we can cheer with you!

Not every creative business has to look the same — or follow a formula.

With Makers Together’s recorded presentations and downloadable resources, you can pick and choose what works for you. Build a business that fits your goals, pace, and personality.

Don’t forget: Makers Together is a group of small business owners navigating the road of discovery. We’re not coaches, and we don’t have all the answers all the time. We're learning along with yout!

But if you ask the questions, we’ll look for resources to help us all succeed. Because your creative life deserves a plan that feels like yours, not someone else’s.

When frustration hits, take a breath before tossing your device! A quick search often reveals exactly what you need.

Most apps have dedicated tutorials, and YouTube is packed with step-by-step guides for nearly every program. Solving it yourself delivers a sweet dopamine boost and a sense of accomplishment—plus, you can bookmark the solution for next time (especially for those rare tasks).

Selling at a Wisconsin fair this summer? Don't forget that you need a Wisconsin Seller’s Permit.

You can go to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to register your business and receive your unique Seller’s permit number. As long as you renew your business registration every two years, you get to keep that number for all of your shows.

It’s one of those “you don't know what you don't know” things that Makers Together is here to help with!

Have you ever wanted to have someone to talk to while you're working in your creative space?

That's exactly what our online co-working is for.

It’s a casual, come-as-you-are space to connect with fellow members while you work on your projects. Share ideas, give or get feedback, or simply enjoy working alongside others who get what it’s like to build a creative business from home.

Sometimes we chat. Sometimes we hold up what we’re working on. Sometimes we just work quietly — together.

Come meet some members, ask questions, introduce us to your work, or just work while enjoying the sound of live humans working with you. You’re not alone in the room anymore.

RSVP today: https://www.makerstogether.org/events/open-virtual-co-working

Maybe your creative work gets passionate when you’re hangry, but your admin probably gets sloppy. Take care of yourself or you won’t be very good at taking care of business.
