Meet the Makers - October 2020

Welcome to our “Monthly Mini Feature” where we highlight different local artisans and crafters who have been busy imagining, creating, dreaming, and doing. During this particularly difficult time please remember our artists and small businesses who support them as they have been and always will be valuable contributors to our quality of life, our economy, and one of the many important of facets of our community.

Our Featured Artist for the month of October 2020 is Mark Milton! Mark is a talented wood worker who creates handmade items such as bowls, keepsake boxes, kitchenware, pens, knitting and sewing items, mushrooms, Christmas ornaments, and much more! His attention to detail and intricate fabrications are reflected in all of his work, each piece has a story to tell!

Mark is also a longtime member of the Craft Guild Shop which has been temporarily closed due to flooding damages, when they return you may find his work there as well! www.craftguildshop.net/ (FB: @craftguildshop).
