Meet Maker’s Market: Where Creativity and Community Meet
What started as a temporary move to Inman, South Carolina, turned into a thriving business and a deep-rooted connection to the local community. In 2016, what was meant to be a short stay while their son finished high school became something much bigger. By 2019, they had invested in downtown, transforming historic buildings into a hub for creativity, learning, and local shopping.
From Paint Classes to a Full-Fledged Maker’s Market
Passionate about teaching and hosting classes, the journey began with small painting workshops held at local businesses. Soon, it was clear there was a demand for a dedicated space where people could gather, learn, and create.This vision led to the launch of Maker’s Market, a place where local artisans and vendors could showcase their work while offering hands-on experiences to the community.
As the business grew, so did the space. The expansion into the building next door allowed for even more events, gatherings, and unique experiences. Now, Maker’s Market isn’t just a shop—it’s a place where the community connects through art, conversation, and shared experiences.
A One-of-a-Kind Local Experience
More than just a retail store, Maker’s Market is a cozy, welcoming space where visitors can shop handcrafted goods, take a creative class, or simply relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The space has evolved to host Bible studies, book clubs, bridal showers, and more, making it an essential part of downtown Inman’s culture.
Beyond selling their own handcrafted woodworking and artisan goods, Maker’s Market supports local artists and makers by providing a platform to showcase and sell their work.
