MAKER STORIES
The people behind the made.
Behind every handmade item in Cincinnati is a person who took a leap and kept taking them. These are their stories: how they started, how they’re growing, and where they’re headed next, whether that’s a second storefront or their first production run. Real makers, in their own words.
