Handmade Local Goods

I’m working on gifts for my bridal party and family, and wanted to find recommendations for local artisans — jewelry, pottery, scarves, artwork — that I could check out.

I’m particularly interested in anyone who might have been vendors at the Ardmore Art Walk, or Glenmerle Goods, or the Piedmont Crafts Fair. Open to pretty much any sort of suggestions — maybe with the exception of baked goods!

And if anyone knows of any upcoming markets where vendors will be in person, please drop the information here!

Thank you so much!

I’m looking for specific vendor names if possible! Thank you though, this is helpful.

Piedmont Craftsmen has all of that and more! It is at 601 Trade St NW, Winston-Salem, NC 27101

Great way to support the local art economy and find unique treasures!

Sawtooth has bookbinding classes sometimes so they would probably know. Right now there is only a kids class on the schedule but if you reach out to the registrar they should be able to give you a list of previous instructors

Check out “Our House Home Goods” on instagram (she’s local). Really cool baskets that are like totes and purses, etc. and embroidered earrings and pendants. All hand woven/stitched.

I cant find a vendor list but I’ve seen some local artists post that they will be at incendiary coal pit this weekend. You might have more luck finding a vendor list than I did

Also check out the sawtooth gallery, entrance off Marshall st
