Makers
"A maker is a person defined by their mindset and disposition rather than a specific skill or demographic. Makers are motivated by curiosity, driven to solve problems, and find joy in creating tangible or intangible things. A maker is typically characterized by creativity, curiosity, and a strong drive to bring ideas to life through hands-on work. They represent a broad range of individuals, from artists and crafters to engineers and technologists. "

Meet Sue
"Sue Bombardt is a retired laboratory medicine professional who began creating with stained glass in 1975. She added lampwork and fused glass to her palette in 2003.
It is captivating to hear how Bombardt brings her science background to her glass art and see how creative she gets by combining the different techniques she has learned over the years to create original and beautiful pieces."

Meet Caitlin Bain
Caitlin was a guest maker during one of our 2017 open houses.
Caitlin makes knit dolls and animals. "They are all one of a kind and super sweet! The dolls range in size. The bigger dolls are about 12 inches tall, the medium sized dolls are about 9 inches tall and the mini dolls that come in a set of three are 5 inches tall."
In her own words: "I started making dolls for my girls that looked like them for fun. Their friends
loved them, so their parents asked me to make some for their kids too! So I began taking custom orders and took off from there!
I have an Etsy page, a Facebook page and an Instagram page:
