Local A

Local A Design + Create + Buy Locally. Local A, the source for all things local in the arts. What does all this mean?

Local A was founded on the idea that we, here in the Southeast, have an amazingly rich culture of arts, music, fashion & design. Just as important, we also have an equally talented community of skilled production labor which acts behind the scenes to help artists & designers bring their concepts to life. As we've watched major manufacturing facilities fall by the wayside, we have identified a need

to allow skilled laborers opportunities for entrepreneurial endeavors. It means Local A wants to put these people back to work. It means we want to support artists & designers who are not only creative here, but who manufacture & produce goods locally as well. We at Local A are taking on the challenge personally of buying & sourcing locally in a whole new way, and through exhaustive research of talented companies that are creating & producing here in the Southeast, we'll make it easy for you to do the same. Like us & we could be your go-to source for all the best creative endeavors in Metro Atlanta.

Did you know that you can take a metal arts class here in the Atlanta area? Our co-founder took a private class with Dana Ruth today and worked with Copper for 3 hours. A very COOL experience for anyone interested in taking their love of jewelry to the next level!

We believe in helping you discover your creativity and ignite a passion. Atlanta's original working studio experience for classes and workshops in jewelry fabrication and metal arts, tools + supplies and open studio work time.
