Check out the first episode of our new podcast "Meet Your Makers." This month we chat with the leadership team responsible for Makers Together, a local nonprofit whose purpose is to support artisans who desire to sell and promote their creative pieces by offering education, workshops, and resources to members on business practices and promotion of their work.
