Are the items on Crafters Market actually handmade?

Yes. Every maker is individually vetted before listing — we verify real workshop photos, real machines, and real past work. Pieces are precision-cut and handcrafted by approved independent makers in their own shops or garages, never mass-produced and never drop-shipped.

Can I commission a custom CNC piece?

Yes — submit a custom order with your idea, photo, or artwork and we route it to the right vetted maker. You get direct messaging with the artisan, realistic lead times, and the option to request revisions before the piece ships.

Where do you ship and how is checkout secured?

Shipping is nationwide across the United States. Checkout is processed by Stripe with full PCI compliance, and every order pays the maker directly through Stripe Connect — no marketplace middleman holding funds.

How are makers vetted before they can sell?

Every applicant submits workshop photos, machine details, and samples of past work. The Crafters Market team manually reviews each application — only US-based independent makers with verifiable hand-built work are approved.

Can I download CNC and laser-cut design files?

Yes. Crafters Market hosts SVG, DXF, F3D and STL patterns from professional pattern designers. Buy once, download instantly, and use commercially according to each designer's license terms.

Why we exist

Big marketplaces
broke handmade.
We're rebuilding it.

Etsy and Amazon flooded the "handmade" aisle with factory imports and drop-shipped knock-offs. Crafters Market exists so American artists, woodworkers, jewelers, potters, leather workers, welders, and CNC creators can sell direct — and so buyers can find the real thing again.

Vetted American makers.

Every seller is a real person working in a real workshop — application-vetted, location-verified, reachable directly. No dropshipping. No reseller listings. No factory storefronts pretending to be artisans.

Built to order. Not warehoused.

Most pieces are cut, welded, carved, or engraved after you place the order. You're commissioning the work — not buying inventory. That's why your maker can match size, finish, material, and message without a surcharge.

Made in real shops across America.

From a CNC garage in Washington to a welding bay in Texas to a wood studio in Vermont — every order ships from the maker's own workshop. Tracking shows you exactly where it came from.

Meet the Makers

The people behind
the work.

Real workshops. Real hands. Every maker on Crafters Market is application-vetted, location-verified, and reachable directly — no resellers, no dropshipping, no factory storefronts pretending to be artisans.

Hand-forged steel home goods — fire pokers, pot racks, hooks, candle sconces. Coal fire, 200-pound anvil, no welds where a forge weld will do. Made in a converted dairy barn since 2014.

Live-edge slab tables and epoxy art with translucent river pours tinted to match the actual creeks they're named for. Walnut, maple, black locust — all sourced from blowdowns within 60 miles of the workshop.
